Old Town, Bucharest

3.8

#2 of 35 in Historic Sites in Bucharest

Neighborhood Historic Walking Area

Imagine the pre-World War II cityscape at Old Town, with its restored period houses, old churches, outdoor terraces, and cafes. This district, once filled with artisan shops, stores, inns, and Boyar houses developed near the Princely Court in the 16th century. The statue of a she-wolf--a gift from the city of Rome--adorns the small square at the entrance to the Lipscani Lane, paved with wood. Go inside the Linden Inn, one of the rare buildings to survive the great 1847 fire, to feel the atmosphere of the early 19th century. Today this area is the capital's most vibrant entertainment district with plenty of places to eat, drink, and dance. Make Old Town a centerpiece of your Bucharest vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Bucharest trip itinerary maker.

In recent years, the old Center of Bucharest has blossomed quite nicely: many old buildings have been renovated, the streets have been cleaned up and expanded, and the entire area of the old town has been greatly revived. Pubs of plenty of and restaurants something can be in for each find. Many old buildings have been prepared very worth seeing again and you can stroll through the streets during the day comfortably. As of Thursday evening, it is however only still sliding through the old town, it is completely full of celebration-willing people who can celebrate here in the wee hours in various clubs. If you want something quiet in the evening is here definitely not in the right place
