Want to know some of the standout things to do in Bucharest? Then have a look through our handpicked suggestions below...
1. Visit the Palace of Parliament
It’s hard to be awe-struck at the sheer enormity of the world’s second largest building. Once you’ve taken it in, the National Museum of Modern Art housed in the Glass Wing is well worth a visit.
2. Catch a Concert at the Romanian Atheneum
A neo-classical masterpiece built in 1888; there is no better way to absorb Bucharest’s incredible music than in the home of the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra.
3. Make yourself at Home in the Bucharest Village Museum
These original peasant homes have been collected from around the country and are filled with artifacts. This provides an insight into the ‘real’ Romania, and a day’s exploring this outdoor museum is a day well spent.
4. Chill out in the Cismigiu Gardens
Rent a rowboat, visit the beer garden, watch old men play chess, or simply stroll down the paths of Bucharest’s oldest and finest park.
5. Experience the George Enescu Festival
A commemoration of Bucharest’s most famous composer, this major international music festival and competition is held every two years in September.
