Bucharest is definitely the type of city where you can enjoy a great number of fun and cultural activities, a city that hosts many clubs where you can dance any day of the week and parks where the entire family can have fun all day, but the offer is much more varied. For example, for thrill-seekers, Bucharest and the surrounding towns come with many options: from climbing and skydiving to adventure parks where the whole family can spend a day to remember.
Skydiving
Many of those who have tried this activity say that the sensation of “plunging into the void” offered by a parachute jump is like nothing they’ve tried before. An activity that comes with a high dose of adrenaline and can be tried (or repeated) just a few kilometers from Bucharest.
Skydiving enthusiasts, as well as those who want to take their first “step into the void,” should check the Clinceni Airfield near Bucharest, the place where such activities take place. The airfield is bordered by the villages of Cornetu and Clinceni, at about 20 km from the center of Bucharest. To make a parachute jump here, those interested can try the services provided by the Bucharest „Aurel Vlaicu” Territorial Aeroclub or by those from the TNT Brothers sports association. Another option is the Skydiving Center club, which is located near the Clinceni Airfield.
The program and offers vary, of course, depending on the club chosen for this unique experience, but it’s important to know that whatever the option, the jumps are made with and under the supervision of licensed and experienced instructors. The information needed to make the right choice can be found on the clubs’ websites, where jumps can also be booked.
Bonus: The Bucharest „Aurel Vlaicu” Territorial Aeroclub also has leisure flights in its offer, another fun option for those who want to try something else.
Climbing
This activity, although usually preferred by mountain enthusiasts, is suitable for both adults and children. While adults can go to a climbing club to strengthen their muscles or to train for bolder climbs, children can spend a few hours doing an activity that involves not only physical exercise but also discipline. There are several venues dedicated to this sport in Bucharest, and those interested have to do nothing more but choose one (or more) and prepare for a new experience.
