ROMANIA

3 Days in Beautiful and Lively Bucharest 🇷🇴✨

Bucharest completely surprised me.

The city has a wonderful mix of historic charm, vibrant nightlife, beautiful architecture, relaxing spa experiences, and delicious local food. It felt lively, welcoming, and full of energy.

We spent three fantastic days exploring Romania’s capital and had an amazing time. 😁

Where We Stayed

Moxy Bucharest Old Town

A charming boutique hotel with a fun, modern design and an excellent location right in the heart of Bucharest’s Old Town.

It was the perfect base for exploring the city on foot, with restaurants, cafés, and major attractions just steps away.

Things to See & Do

Therme Bucharest 😎

One of the highlights of our trip.

This enormous indoor wellness complex features:

Thermal pools
Jacuzzis
Multiple saunas
Relaxation areas
Tropical-style gardens

The design is beautiful, the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and it’s the perfect place to spend a spa day. 👌🏻

We purchased tickets that included access to all sections of the complex, which I highly recommend.

Located near the airport, it’s also a great option if you’d like to visit shortly after arriving in Bucharest or before your flight home.

The castles were beautiful, the scenery along the route was breathtaking, and the snow-covered landscapes made everything feel magical.

During our visit there were traditional dance performances, live entertainment, and delicious Romanian food. 🤤🤤🤤

The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the entire experience was perfect. 👌🏻

Restaurant Vatra

A wonderful restaurant serving traditional Romanian cuisine.

The décor reflects local culture and traditions, and dancers perform between the tables throughout the evening.

A charming café inspired by the famous painter Vincent van Gogh.

The walls are covered with artwork and colorful murals inspired by Van Gogh’s style.
