The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Bucharest, Romania
Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

This is one of the oldest Orthodox Monasteries in Bucharest and a beautiful example of Romanian Christian arhitecture. Located on a small hill in the back of a line of block of flats, it is a real miracle this monasteries survived the communist destruction period. Nice arhitecture lines, beautiful paintings and light. It also hosts the tomp of a former Romanian Patriarch (Justinian Marina). It is really worth a visit.

We arrived for Holy Communion and were warmly welcomed. There was a good choir and a good sermon as well as hymns. Afterwards coffee and biscuits were served, - donation only and everyone was very friendly. The building itself is constructed of brick with plain white walls inside and is clean and tidy. The history is fascinating as Queen Marie of Romania regularly worshipped here and was granddaughter to Queen Victoria. During the communist regime the chaplain was constantly harassed but continued on with the "cross held high".

Biserica Sf. Nicolae is a gorgeous Orthodox church located in the old town section of Bucharest. They are under construction right now, so there is some scaffolding outside on the roof. Inside is wide open for looking around and taking photos. The mosaics are incredible, the paintings and ceilings are delightful. It's worth a visit and a look around.

Just opposite Manucs Inn. Saw this as part of our own private walking tour. We were able to go inside and listen to part of a service.
