Top 10 Things to do in Sala Floreasca, Romania
Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

This is a lovely museum in a very beautiful house in a nice neighborhood of Bucharest - the neighborhood right behind the government building which is full of diplomatic residences. I wanted to go to a different museum - not your regular art or history or natural science museum and found this gem of a museum. If you like history and geography and old drawings of Romanian geographical landmarks this is for you. The maps are quite old-1500s the oldest one- but in excellent conditions. They are maps of the old provinces of Romania, but also of other parts of the world - Europe, Middle East, but even Americas, East Asia etc. It is definitely worth it a visit. Check out the stained glass maps, too. Highly recommended!

“Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History is one of the oldest research institutions in the field of biodiversity and public education. It is in the same time one of the well-known and highly appreciated “databases” due to the Museum’s collections, some of them valuable assets of the worldwide thesaurus.

Went at weekends with my husband: price per adult 20 lei plus 10 lei photo fee so was more than decent. The museum is very interesting, the items are very well presented and described, they put tablets to find more info but I think due to the COVID situation these tablets were off. It takes you from stuffed animals to history of the vertebrates, human body and organs, fossils to gems and all kind of stones; there is even a small cave which was super wow. All in all we loved it a lot

This museum is located in a beautiful neighborhood, Dorobanti, and it is accessible by public transportation (bus and metro). The building was commissioned by Krikor Zambaccian, a businessman and art collector of Armenian origin, to host his art collection. It gives an overview of the most important Romanian artists of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. The collection consists of paintings, drawings and sculptures by artists like Nicolae Grigorescu, Stefan Luchian, Ioan Andreescu, Nicolae Tonitza, Theodor Pallady, Theodor Aman, Georghe Petrascu, Camil Ressu, Oscar Han, Dimitrie Paciurea and more. A sculpture by Brancusi is also on display. Additionally the collection includes 19 artworks by 19th and 20th century French painters (Delacroix, Matisse, Picasso, Utrillo and a number of impressionists and post-impressionists such as Cezanne, Renoir, Pissaro). All in all a valuable art collection in an old building with a character. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Romanian art.

Traces of the Past – The Maria and Dr. George Severeanu Collection is an exhibition meant to promote doctor Severeanu’s impressive collection of numismatic and archaeological items, and to familiarize the public with the world of collections and collectors during the early 20th century. With the aid of texts (Romanian and English) placed in each room, visitors will be able to become acquainted with various categories of historical artifacts and their associated information, especially given the fact that currently no other museum or public collection in Bucharest offers a similar exhibit. The numismatic artifacts are integrated according to their chronology, origin, typology etc., focusing on the hoards gathered by the collector, so as to suggest, in harmony with associated historical information, a history of monetary circulation. We look forward to your visit!

It was an unique experience. The historical building is astonishing, while the friendly staff, and the quality of the service, is at the highest level. For entering the casino you have to pay an entrance fee of 50lei, like in all the others casino in Romania. We enjoyed our time there, due to the professional staff, that guided us during our visit, and although we lost a little, it was a very nice evening. There is a very nice buffet and restaurant, and a slots area. We will return for sure, and we recommend the place to everybody.
