[Read more…]Things to do in Bucharest: Old Town Bucharest
Some of the most entertaining things to do in Bucharest are in and around Old Town Bucharest. You want old churches? It’s got old churches. You want delicious food? It’s got delicious food. You want a walking street that forks into two because a hotel owner refused to sell their land so the street was just built around the building? What an incredibly specific request. Lucky for you, Old Town Bucharest has one of those too.
How to get to Old Town Bucharest
The Bucharest Old Town is located in the center of the city and right in between two stops on the metro. The Bucharest metro is fast and easy to use and has some interesting history behind it. Hop off at Universitate and make your way south to reach the Old Town. Or if you want to mix things up, take the metro to Piata Unirii and head north. Once you see the cobblestone streets, you’re in the right place.
When you’ve arrived in the Bucharest Old Town, get ready to get your steps in on the cobblestoned streets. And make sure to watch your step as some of the cobblestones have come loose! Don’t worry, the potholes are easy to spot. Just make sure to take a look where you’re going as you look around at the beautiful surroundings!

One of our favorite ways to get to know a new place is to visit the markets. What are people buying? What’s for sale? Does anyone here sell Hot Tamales? (Spoiler: they didn’t)
