9 days in Bucharest Itinerary

The booming city of Bucharest is a sophisticated metropolis with a high contrast of old- and new-world architecture.

There's still lots to do: ponder the world of politics at Palace of Parliament, steep yourself in history at Stavropoleos Monastery, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and take an in-depth tour of Museum of History of the Jewish Community.
