Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the saying goes, but it can’t hurt having the tried and tested background for your photos. We have selected below some of the Bucharest spots that are more often captured in beautiful shots.
The Arch of Triumph
This landmark in northern Bucharest is befitting of the capital’s former Little Paris nickname. Modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in France’s capital, it reminds passers-by of the Romanian Army’s victory in the First World War and the Great Union of 1918. It is also many people’s favorite site for capturing the panorama that opens around it, or for the parade occasioned by Romania’s national day on December 1.
Dacia Boulevard
This is one of the capital’s most beautiful arteries, hosting numerous Instagrammable architectural jewels: neoclassical palaces and art deco buildings. Pick your favorite site as you stroll on this elegant boulevard that also hosts several embassies and cultural centers and links to a growingly hip neighborhood, hosting many creative enterprises.
Street art on Știrbei Vodă and at Point
If street art is your thing, than the intersection of Știrbei Vodă and Berzei is one of the needed stops on a photo tour of the capital. Here, fans will find two of the works of visual artist Obie Platon, giving a fresh look to two of the buildings in the area.
Also worth a stop is the cultural hub Point, where the artists from Sweet Damage Crew have painted a mural showing a woman drawing on a piece of glass her own universe, something we are all invited to do. Sweet Damage Crew also painted the mural inside Gradina cu Filme in Lahovari Square, a venue offering free screenings of classical or more recent films.
Macca-Vilacrosse Passage
This glass-covered street in downtown Bucharest is somewhat of a hidden gem. It used to host the first Stock Exchange House of Bucharest, before a more appropriate structure was built. Today it hosts several indoor and outdoor cafes and restaurants, where you can stop, admire the views and get inspired for a snapshot or two.
