The second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon. The Palace of the Parliament stands as a reminder of a crucial and challenging chapter in Bucharest’s history, reflecting both the ambition of the communist regime and the heavy cost borne by the people.
Bucharest's oldest public garden. Despite its central location and proximity to Old Town, it's surprisingly quiet! Lots of alleys, benches and open-air cafes where you can just take a break after a day of exploring.
Old Town really comes alive in the evenings. Perfect place to head to after sunset if you're in the mood for a night out.
This open-air museum, nestled in Bucharest’s beautiful Herastrau Park, lets you step back in time as you wander through authentic traditional houses and discover artifacts from across the country. Perfect for a relaxed day out with a splash of culture.
You’ll see a Luca on pretty much every street corner, with people always queueing up - for good reason! Grab yourself a covrig cu mac and a covriluca and thank us later. The sour cherry strudel is also pretty damn good.
Our go-to restaurant whenever we're in town. Super fun, great food, even better drinks. Margaritas? Keep them coming. Sombreros are optional.
A cozy little place where traditional flavors meet creative twists. Definitely try the deep-fried pickles.
The ultimate spot to try a Romanian staple: mici! Fresh off the grill and full of flavour. Surrounded by the bustling Obor Market, it’s a no-frills place where you can grab a quick bite alongside locals.
If you happen to be in Obor on the weekend, head to Petra. Serving classic Romanian dishes from the ’90s, it’s the kind of place where the food feels familiar and wonderfully unpretentious.
If you’d like to make your visit to Romania extra special and indulge in fine dining, Eto is a solid choice. It was awarded Best New Opening and the sommelier is a good friend of ours (and joining the wedding!), so let us know if you’re going and we’ll make sure you get a special welcome.
Another fine-dining spot in Bucharest is Soro Lume, with open-fire cooking and locally sourced ingredients guaranteed to make your evening memorable.
A great bistro with seasonal dishes, a large selection of reasonably priced wines and an intimate setting. Perfect for a laid-back evening out.
Stop by for breakfast or brunch. Tucked away in one of Bucharest’s prettiest neighbourhoods, it's the perfect spot for an easy morning before exploring the city!
