Stayed in the old town just round the corner from Hilton garden which is a great area to stay. Used the Bolt app to get around Bucharest which was easy to do. Had a evening at Hard rock cafe with a band on, Next day did the 12hr trip to Peles castle,Brasov and Bran castle. Great day out. Our last day did a tour round Parliment building. Totally blown away by this building, Do not miss this on your trip. Used Euro limo for airport transfers who were great. This city is a real value for money great experience.

Lipscani is without a doubt where it is happening in old town Bucharest. Plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants nestled along the sidewalks in the old town. We walked through the area a number of times in our few days in Bucharest and different times of day presented very different results. Walking this way anytime after 11:30 meant a lot of restaurant reps trying to get you through the door for food and drinks, whereas anytime before that and it is a lot of deliveries to said restaurants but generally no one making a b-line for you. Restaurants and their reps aside, the area is very interesting nestled with little sights along the streets to stop and gaze at. The architecture is stunning and something to be admired. Definitely the place you want if you are looking for food and a drink in the afternoon / evening.

We visited this area several times during our stay in Bucharest. The streets are lined with lots of restaurants and bars so your choices seem endless. We discovered a number of great places to stop for a beer or a full meal.

If you are visiting old town Bucharest its inevitable you will discover this street. It runs west to east through the Old Town, and us full of bars, cafes, shops and resturants. It is packed to the rafters from noon onwards but during the mornings it's a completely different story. Quiet and empty and very picturesque.
