What travelers are saying
- Lainie LNew York City, NY1,310 contributionsAn oasis of calm and peacefulness in Old Town.
Stavropoleos Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox monastery and though it's small, it's architecture, murals and stonework is a testament to Byzantine tradition.
The courtyard is beautiful and peaceful and must be the place to be during the spring/summer.
The interior is decorative, calm, and peaceful, a refuge if you want to escape from the crowds and busy streets of Bucharest.Written December 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited the national museum of contemporary art afterwards, which is on another wing of the palace.

- Tyrone J38 contributionsA nice spot to learn some Romanian history and how they've come to be!
A lot of houses from around the regions of Romania with fully furnished interiors. Most houses you cannot go in.
Be wary that this is a cash only venue, 30 lei was entry. Also it is a lot of walking!

- Andy FDevizes, UK1,396 contributionsLipscani is one of the main thoroughfares through Bucharest's Old Town district. As you'd expect, it's full of places to eat and drink, mixed in with shops, and the occasional church or civic building. The streets are mostly cobbled. It's a bit touristy, but very nice all the same.Written May 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
