Two days in Bucharest

Two days in Bucharest - Day 1

September 18, 2016

I was on a recent work trip to Bucharest, Romania in end-July. I flew Lufthansa business class (including intra-Europe business class). I've reviewed those products here and here, so I won't be writing about them again. I stayed at a serviced apartment sort of place, booked by my hosts, and hence there's no review.

I was able to get a little bit of time off on two of the 3 days that I was there. I usually take a long(ish) walk in order to (a) see and get a feel of the place a little bit, and (b) tire myself out so I get a good night's sleep. This trip was no different. The first day was actually a half-day, the afternoon I landed.

This post has some (what I think are) awesome sights from that evening. The second post in this series (called Day 2) has pictures from what was was actually Day 3 of my stay (I had the entire day to myself). But that'll come later. Here goes day 1.

Warning: You'll probably see a beer (or 4) here among the pictures. That's just honest journalism!

Sculptures outside the National Theatre

My residences were near Piata Romana, and I'd done some basic research on the key spots within a short walking distance. I was essentially focussed on visiting Lipscani, or the Old Town (which is usually a fantastic place in every European city of repute that features an Old Town!).
