Let’s have a look at the nicer surroundings of Bucharest.
The Romanian Athenaeum.
The Illuminati Headquarters of Romania. Just kidding. It’s just a hospital.
Some old churches in The Old Town.
Some rich bastard’s residence, I guess. Cool vines, though..
The Old Town with Nipples.
The Old Town provides most of your needs: a dozen of restaurants, pubs, souvenir shops, casinos, brothels and strip clubs in every corners.
The Cărturești Carusel Bookstore, Old Town. Go down the stairs to look for CD’s, vinyls and maybe some obscure DVD’s.
An Italian Flying Umbrella Restaurant not so far from the hotel.
Top from left: CEC Palace (first two), A Random Street, Odeon Theatre, A Random Building (hotel maybe), Central University Library
Saray Restaurant serves the best beef ever. I don’t remember the name, but its mixed with cheese, and it’s so delicious that even Gordon Ramsay would have an orgasm.
Someone said beef with cheese?
The iDracula Restaurant in The Old Town. While this restaurant had some dishes for vegetarians, just be advised that Romania is not the greatest place for vegetarians, especially if you’re entering a restaurant on the countryside where the closest to vegetarian you can get is a steak. As our “Travelmaker: 2 castles in 1 day” tour guide advised us (a post about this coming later): the best vegetarian dish in Romania is pork chop. If that’s not vegetarian enough for you, you’ll just be served a beer instead.
So what to choose… A heart container or a stamina vessel?
A mall in Bucharest called “AFI Cotroceni”. With a roller coaster…
… a dragon…
… and your trulys, having some fun in the “Museum of Senses”.
