With average temperatures topping 20˚C, the warm, pleasant weather makes August a great time of year to explore the city’s historic, cobbled streets, cafés, museums and galleries on foot. With its rich, turbulent history, Romania’s capital is a fascinating city of architectural contrasts, with austere Communist structures sitting alongside neo-classical buildings and medieval churches. A vibrant university town, the city also has thriving nightlife along with numerous cultural attractions. Climb the top of the Arch of Triumph for panoramic views of the city. Visit the Royal Palace, the neoclassical home to the Romanian royal family, which now houses the National Art Museum, and don’t miss the Lipscani District. Littered with art galleries, coffee shops and antique shops, the cobbled streets of the old town are perfect if you’re looking for a taste of historical Bucharest.
Also visit: In May, for the Bucharest International Music Fest (‘Europa Fest’), where more than 300 musicians from 40 countries will be performing.
Best for: Perfect for those interested in art, history and politics.
