Best Things To Do in Bucharest, Romania

After the hospital, this is the main attraction of the Coltea architectural complex. Once, only a wooden church stood here, in service to the people of the slum, dedicated to Saint Martyr Paraskeva. The church you see today was built in 1698, and though damaged multiple times in earthquakes and the WWII bombings, slow restoration is ongoing.

This museum serves up a startling slice of history that even contemporary Romanians don't know about - the Jewish impact on the city. Early in the 20th century, over 10% of the city's population was Jewish, with over 800,000 Jews in the country in 1941. This number has reduced to 10,000 jews in total in the country. The museum explores Jewish cultural, economic and political impact on Romania v...Read more -
Palatul Primaverii

The reviled dictator Nicolae Ceausescu lived in this palace for twenty-five years with his wife. It is lavishly decorated, and is perhaps the most ostentatious home any dictator ever built for himself. For example, the toilet roll holders are made of solid gold; and it has it's own cinema. Carved wood and mosaic tiles cover every surface. There are innumerable chandeliers. The cabinets are stil...Read more -
