Around Bucharest

Today, we have mainly been walking. Seeing the sights of Bucharest. We took the metro to get to the start of our free self-guided walking tour but that was mainly to see what the metro was like - answer, pretty good, if a little crowded. Each trip costs about a euro.

I think we got to see most of the buildings listed in the travel guides but mainly from the outside. Monday is not a good day to visit Bucharest if you want to go to museums... they are nearly all shut!

We did go to the Museum of Communism in Bucharest which was a really nice little place documenting what life was like under communism. Spoiler alert... it wasn't great.

It's been hot in the city today, very hot. We walked back to the hotel to cool down. Then went to see the Palace of Parliament - a rather long and pointless walk tbh. We are now sat in a bar drinking cocktails, en route to the Restaurant Hanu' lui Manuc. That's the plan anyway.Read more
