City breaks to Bucharest are a bit of a balancing act, they’ve got time-stamped sights on one side and trendy touches on the other.
Bucharest city breaks
Bucharest is a bit of a box ticker when it comes to city breaks. First up, there’s its small-scale city centre, which means wherever you make your base you’re never too far away to stroll to the sights. Its restaurants and bars come with low price tags, meaning that dining and drinking out in the city is often cheaper than in other European capitals. Plus, if you need to take a time out from all the hustle and bustle of a major city, its surrounding countryside can help to flip the coin.
Move over, Berlin
Bucharest was long known as the Paris of the East, a name that has stuck since the early 20th century thanks to elegant architecture and museum-lined avenues. These days, that’s been knocked aside and replaced with New Berlin – which we reckon is pretty good going seeing as Germany’s head honcho is probably the cool kid among the capitals. A trendy art scene and a café on every corner has given this place a new lease of life, and made it a big hit for hipsters. The city’s raising the bar on European nightlife too, with many of its uber-modern clubs drawing in big name DJs from across the continent.
