We’ve just come back from 3 days and 2 nights in Bucharest and honestly… it exceeded expectations.
We stayed at Mercure Bucharest Unirii and they set the tone straight away. It was our first time in Romania and they upgraded our room for free which was such a nice touch. Completely unexpected. The staff were genuinely helpful the whole stay. Location wise it was ideal too. Easy to walk pretty much everywhere.
We flew with Ryanair. Not usually my first choice, but for the price we paid I can’t really fault it. It did exactly what it needed to do.
Food wise… unreal.
We had breakfast at the Grand Van Gogh Café which was brilliant. Great vibe, really cool setting and the food was genuinely delicious.
We went to Caru' cu Bere for a traditional Romanian meal and that was a highlight. It was very busy but they were helpful and managed to get us in without a booking. The food was excellent. Proper traditional dishes and a great atmosphere.
We also went to The Vault, which had a great atmosphere and good drinks. Slightly more expensive than some other places, but still worth it for the setting and quality.
Separately, we visited The Hidden Bar which was a cool little find. A bit more low key and tucked away. Exactly the sort of place you’re glad you stumbled across.
We spent a full day at Therme Bucharest and that was exceptional. The spa facilities were spot on and we managed to book some treatments too which made it even better. Easily one of the best spa days we’ve done.
On the last day we explored properly. Wandering the streets, seeing Pasajul Victoria (Umbrella Street), walking through the old town passages, popping into the Louis Vuitton store and just soaking it all in.
Overall, for the price, the trip was amazing. Everything was really easy to organise through loveholidays and it all ran smoothly from start to finish.
Would definitely recommend Bucharest for a short break. Three days felt perfect.
