What to do in Bucharest

Bucharest is the capital city of Romania and also its largest. Filled with attractions, history, culture, gorgeous parks, and fascinating local culture, this dynamic city is a perfect destination for anyone. So before you head off to popular Transylvania, don’t miss out on the best of Bucharest.

Hop on a bus and visit the incredible Parliament Palace. The history alone will entice any culture lover, and it’s a perfect start of your travel photo collection too. Stroll around the Old Town with your camera, then enjoy a bite to eat at the cafes lining the streets.

Find more art within the city and check out the street murals at Garajul Ciclop. Admire the stunning architecture of Arcul de Triumf, Saint Nicholas Church, and Hanul lui Manuc. Don’t forget to add nature photos by visiting the lovely Cismigiu Park, Botanical Gardens, and Ion Voicu Park.

Another park you can’t miss is Herastrau Park, where you can hire a boat for the park’s lake with the entire family. Check out the Village Museum there too and admire the many sculptures within the park. You can even spot one for the King of Pop!

If you’re feeling peckish, then bring your wallet straight to the Food Hood for the amazing food trucks, drinks, and bands too. Bucharest is also coined as the “new Berlin” for its buzzing party scene, and you can experience it in BOA, Fratelli, and Bamboo.

Outside Bucharest, you can take a trip to see Bran Castle and the gorgeous Peles Castle and surround. Stop by the Sinaia Monastery too as you enjoy the sweeping views of nature.
