Airport transfer

- Bus line 100: Airport Stop → Piața Unirii (approx. 40 min) - Ticket: contactless payment on bus or kiosk - Uber/Bolt also available: approx. 50–70 RON from BBU to centre - BBU (Băneasa) is closer to the centre than OTP (Henri Coană) – ideal for budget airlines

Food & cafés

- Luca (Strada Gabroveni 61): must-try pretzels (covrigi) and pastries - Caru' cu Bere (Str. Stavropoleos 3): historic beer hall from 1879 – interior is a must-see - Hanu' Berarilor (Casa Elena Lupescu): Romanian-style stuffed cabbage (sarmale) and steaks - Simbio: modern fusion cuisine with local produce - Origo Coffee: best specialty coffee in the city - Zăganu Craft Beer Bar: regional craft beers from Muscel

Practical tips

- RON (Romanian leu): approx. 1 RON = 0.85 PLN - City tax: paid in cash at hotel check-out - Apps: Bolt (cheaper than Uber), Google Maps offline - Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse: 19th-century Art Nouveau arcade – ideal for shisha in the evening - Watch out for trams on Calea Victoriei! - Bucharest is underrated – every church is a potential must-see

Bucharest architecture

- Brâncovenesc style (17th c.): Stavropoleos, Sfântul Gheorghe Nou, Crețulescu Church - Art Nouveau / Belle Époque: Cantacuzino Palace (most beautiful marquise!), Caru' cu Bere - Art Déco / 1930s modernism: Calea Victoriei, Ateneu - Communist megalomania: Parliament – second largest administrative building in the world - Interwar villas: Park Ioanid area, Strada Dumbrava Roșie (French and neo-Romanian style)
