Book Bucharest hotels

Say “See ya later” to everyday life and “Hiya” to centuries of history, contemporary art and some seriously amazing stuffed cabbage rolls. Sound fun? Of course it does! Bucharest, Romania, is a great place to bust a move off the beaten path.

Go with the flow of the Dâmbovi?a River and stay on the trail of colourful street art, chill nightlife and smashing Bucharest accommodation all over the city centre.

Things to Do in Bucharest

To start your holiday at the very beginning, you’d need a time machine set to the 15th century. Since running into “Vlad the Impaler” might make sightseeing awkward, stick to the present day and wander through Old Town instead. This central neighbourhood is home to some local favourites, like Bucharest Municipal Museum and Palatul Voievodal Curtea Veche, the 15th-century palace of ol’ Vlad.

Old Town is also for a hot spot for up-and-coming restaurants, nightlife and street art. So don’t be surprised to see spray paint masterpieces on your way to 18th-century frescos in Stavropoleos Church. Can’t get enough palaces? Check out the Palace of Parliament. It’s the largest parliament building in the world. #nobigdeal

Follow that up with a concert at the Romanian Athenaeum and a night of dancing, hearty cuisine and homemade wines before dreaming of plum dumplings in one of the best Bucharest hotels.
