PARKS, MONUMENTS AND DISTRICTS

WHAT TO DO? MY JOURNEY
BUCHAREST DISTRICTS

The Parliament

City Center

Statue in the city center

Be sure to stroll through the Lipscani area which is super nice. A mix of museum, restaurants and shops. Nice to get lost during the beautiful days.

ITS MUSEUMS

Romanian village museum

Sheeps in the museum

You can find your happiness at museums. There is everything, art, history, culture. Being there on Monday and Tuesday, many museums are closed these days, and my mistake was not checking the opening dates. But I got to see the Romanian village museum (Muzeul Satului). An open museum in a park in Bucharest to discover houses from different eras and regions. Quite unusual as a museum but interesting. I went to the Parliament which is an impressive building to see up close.

Entrance fee to the Romanian village museum: € 1.50 / lei 7 

THE PARKS

Herastrau Park

Cismigiu Park

Herastrau Park

There are several large parks in the capital. Cismigiu Park (Parcul Cismigiu) has a nice little lake where you can go boating (pedal boating or canoeing). The second one I did is much bigger, the Herastrau Park. Activities are organized around, as well as restaurants and bars by the lake.

I went to Bucharest after visiting Sinaia. It was my last city in Romania and I had a good time in this city. Not too much crowded but quite animated.

WHEN TO GO?

Favorable weather to visit Bucharest.
