Recommendations for a trip to Bucharest
Bucharest is recommended to tour with an organized tour or alone by bus, to see the sites around in the city. It is easy to get to Bucharest in terms of city transport, subway and buses. We recommend visiting the village museum, passing through the Arc de Triomphe and the village museum.
Our recommendation is to start with a tour bus, especially if it’s your first visit to the city. The tour bus includes English instruction on the sites scattered around the city. You can get off the bus all day, so it’s a very convenient tour for a day trip. The bus ticket is purchased by bus itself. A tour bus goes on a tour every 20 minutes, so if you are delayed and missed the bus, you will not have to wait long until the next tour that comes out.
House of Parliament
The People’s Building was built by Ceauescu. He built the so-called building for the people, but actually for himself. The building is huge and impressive. It has thousands of rooms and it is recommended to take a paid tour. In order to enter the parliament building, you must obtain passports.
Chinese market
A market called Dragon Ball, an interesting market and you can find bargains there.
Chishmigo Gardens
The Chishmigo Gardens are located in the city center between central avenues in the city.
There is a large artificial lake, which is a great attraction – when the weather is pleasant you can sail in a boat. When the lake freezes it becomes an ice skating rink.
Terama
It is recommended to go to the Trauma. You can find buses to Terama from Piazza Romana.
The place is divided into 3 parts – Galaxy, Palm and Elysium, the latter being the most expensive to stay, but also the most prestigious.
In Galaxy there are mostly water slides suitable for children, the Palm includes pools with minerals and salt water pool. Elysium is an upgraded place for adults only and includes stunning saunas. At the entrance you will get a bracelet for Locker where you can save your equipment.
It is also a good idea to enter the slides. It is suitable for all ages.
If you have more power, you can stop at the Banse Canyon, which is halfway back to Bucharest. The mall has clothing stores of major chains as well as a supermarket in Carrefour.
