LOCATION
So let’s check out some of the best places to visit in Bucharest :
The Romanian Athenaeum
Without music, life would be a mistake
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concert hall of Bucharest is an impressive building with a beautiful dome and neoclassical decoration. If you can’t enjoy a concert at least go to see the building.
Cismigiu Gardens
A delightful park-garden with many kind of local and imported plants. It is really an oasis in the city. Many benches to take a seat and enjoy a hot traditional covrigi with sesame (something like pretzel).
Stavropoleos church
Orthodox Church and monastery with a characteristic architecture and muted colors. A historic monument in the heart of Bucharest. A cute courtyard can be found at the back of the church. Take a break and enjoy the peaceful environment.
Palace of Parliament
The largest building in Europe, the ambitious plan of a dictator which now hosts basically the chamber of deputies. Intimidating and quite impressive. Definitely one of the best places to visit in Bucharest.
