The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples 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).

Located in the heart of the Old town, close to Gilda theatre and Diverta bookshop, the museum invites you to travel back in 19th century to discover a lovely interior. I liked the furniture, the Oriental room and the elegant dresses that can be worn for a photo shooting.

Had a great experience with this museum - Raluca helped us figure out the tickets for the same day we called, which was super helpful. And then we showed up late due to traffic, but Alex, our guide, was very accommodating and even stayed later to give us more details/information on the history. The entire experience was great and we truly enjoyed our time with Alex and the "museum" too! Thank you!!

The tour was really interesting and the building is fabulous. Roxy was my tour guide, her English was great! Roxy gave a detailed account of the Palace’s history providing additional information in every room and answering any questions asked. I would recommend the tour to anyone, I was there for around an hour. They have procedures in place for COVID which are explained fully both when you book and again once you arrive. It costs 60 lei.

History and memories ladden Cismigiu Gardens remains unblemished over quite a few lifetimes, more exactly since the eighteen's century. Like so many other parcs in Bucharest, it is loved and cherished as one of ots green oasis where people can stroll, jog, relax on a public bench, meet someone or simply pass through. However, Cismigiu is special with its large alleys guarded by old trees, with its manicured grass and colourful flowers, with its antique rows of seats, linked to each other along some paths, between the curves bridges over the lake and the rocky mountain in its middle.

This is the third time that I have visited Carol Park. It's a beautiful park and you can get plenty of exercise walking around. During this visit it was still considered winter and most of the trees bare. During the spring and summer the park is absolutely gorgeous with many activities. The monument is absolutely stunning. There are always guards there to protect the tomb. See the attached photos. Carol Park is one of many parks in Bucharest and one of my favorites. Check it out.

.. it is filled with famous people. It is a big cemetery & nicely maintained. I think you need a map to find people. I managed to use my memory and great navigation skills and remembered where my uncle was buried. It was quite an adventure. Cemeteries are very important for Romanians!

It's a beautiful church. I would think the moniker of New is relative, given that it was sanctified in 1707. Designed by an Italian, the glorious frescoes were created by the greatest of Romanian artists. It has undergone a recent renovation bringing the original lustre to the fore. A lovely facade with columns and holy images welcomes the faithful. An imposing statue of Constantin Brâncoveanu, the Wallachian Prince who was executed by the Ottomans, fronts the church. Vibrant are the assemblage of breathtaking frescoes inside. The vista from the rear towards the iconastasis is awe-inspiring. The domes are wondrously embellished with holy scenes. The Christ Pantocrator is central in one.
