Holiday In Bucharest

When the cravings hit for homemade wine and moussaka, we have a plan. It also involves awesome old city vibes, avant-garde art and layers of history waiting for you to say, “Let’s do this”!

Intrigued? Go on holiday in Bucharest and take in the warm and colourful Eastern European vibes you’ll find in the Romanian capital. Wander down busy market streets, get to know friendly locals and explore gorgeous landmarks—including sprawling palaces. Known affectionately as “Little Paris”, Bucharest has a big personality all its own. Get in on our sweet packages to Bucharest and shout “Bucharest or bust”!

Things to Do in Bucharest

This city really likes its palaces—they even call their shopping malls palaces—but the biggest and most famous of all is Palace of Parliament, so start your Bucharest holiday right there. It’s the largest parliament building in the world (it houses three museums!) and it’s regal as heck. While you’re there, check out the National Museum of Contemporary Art, showcasing the city’s ever-growing arts scene. If you’re not into quiet galleries, you can scope out even more of today’s up-and-comers along the city streets. Roll around in one of our awesome Bucharest car hire options and be on the lookout for murals. Wanna keep the culture coming? Since its completion in 1888, the Romanian Athenaeum has played host to world-class musical performances and brilliant scientific presentations in a gorgeous neo-classical building. Finally, carve out some time to putter around Old Town, a district in the city centre where some of Bucharest’s oldest avenues are brought to life with a vibrant uni town crowd.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Bucharest has shopping down to an art. From independent galleries to antiques boutiques, there’s heaps of artistry on tap. Save for the splurge with one of our Bucharest packages and take home a suitcase of one-of-a-kind finds. Your flat will thank you for the new look.

Romanian food is, in a word, hearty—and you’ll need that heartiness to refuel after combing the shops for treasure. For some good eats, tuck in to a restaurant in Old Town, especially near the riverfront and close to the University of Bucharest. Traditional fare includes fish borscht, stuffed grape leaves and delicious salad plates that could be called anything but “rabbit food”.

In this safe and unassuming city, the nightlife doesn’t rely on the neon club scene. Instead, spend an evening at the Opera Româna or one of the many jazz bars. You’ll find most of the action in Old Town and on a warm night, it’s a great place to grab a pint and people-watch after a show. If you have friends in the area, it’s a good chance they have a hobby winemaker in the family and that their sips are delish.
