The city is filled with lovely terraces benefiting from lush vegetation, where you can have a refreshing drink after a visit of one of Bucharest’s many fascinating museums or galleries. You can mix both categories by choosing to visit the Village Museum, an open air exhibition stretching over 70 acres along the main lake in the Herastrau park. Discover the parks of Romania’s capital city in an active way: on bicycle. If you get tired, you can always find some green area where you can sit on a blanket, take out some food and start a picnic or join a group of locals having a grill on a weekend. Remember the past days, when things where moving at a different much slower rhythm, by strolling along the old lanes inside Bucharest’s first public garden and its most beautiful: Cismigiu park.
In case you long for a bit of sun and swimming, you can have a cityscape to the Black Sea. If you prefere a quick alternative during the torrid days, there are plenty of opened pools in the city center as well as outside will make you feel as if you haven’t missed anything by not going to the sea. Some of them are equipped with sand, not to mention the colorful folding beach chairs, the cool blue water in the swimming pools and the relaxing music played at the local station.
Regardless of what your choice is, all you need to remember to do is to sit back, take a cold drink next to you and enjoy the atmosphere. As you will find out if you happen to have a tour of Bucharest in the summer, it is one of the most chilled out places in Europe and this is what summer is all about after all!
The evenings are attracting the happy people of Bucharest together to socialize over a wide range of beverages, to have fun and to enjoy life.
