Other Things in Bucharest

Published on 17 September 2025 at 12:00

Although Bucharest wasn't as crammed full of 'touristy things to do' like other cities that we have been to, there were still plenty of 'smaller' pretty sights to see. Here are our favourites:

Umbrella Street

Ady & Meg.

This pretty street has exactly what it says on the tin. We visited very early in the morning to find it this quiet!


Pasajul Macca-Villacrosse

Ady & Meg.

Another pretty street. It was prettier later in the day when all the lights were on, but that of course meant that it was a lot busier!


Biserica Manastirii Stavropoleos

Ady & Meg.

This place really surprised us. It was advertised online as a top tourist attraction, suggesting that we spend at least an hour exploring here. In actual fact, we were made to feel extremely unwelcome on both occasions...


Romanian Athenaeum

Ady & Meg.

If you are lucky, you may also be able to visit the inside of this place (either by attending a show, or by a tour outside of show times). When we went, it was unfortunately closed for most of the month!


Cismigiu Gardens

Ady & Meg.

A cute park in the centre of the city. Admittedly not as nice as Herastrau Park, but much easier to reach from the old town. 


Carturesti Carusel

Ady & Meg.

This bookshop is heavily advertised as somewhere for 'instagrammable photos' - this of course meant it was incredibly busy!


Biserica Zlatari

Ady & Meg.

Bucharest is full of little churches which are very pretty on the inside! 

Biserica Sfantul Nicolae

Ady & Meg.

This church was just down the road from our apartment - in fact, you could see it from our balcony!

Biserica Sfantul Anton

Ady & Meg.

Another pretty church.

Palace of the Deposits and Consignments

Ady & Meg.

We were in two minds as to whether to add this one - an impressive building, which we just walked by on the way to the Monastery.
