Bucharest (in Romanian Bucharest) - is the capital with almost two million inhabitants and the most important industrial and commercial center Romania.

Characteristic

Bucharest is a very crowded, jammed and chaotic metropolis. It has many monuments, although there is no compact old town. Eclectic architecture, which is a mixture of historical, socialist realist and modern buildings, reflects the history of the city. Megalomaniacal socialist realist buildings from the Ceausescu era are adjacent to very elegant, representative buildings from the second half of the nineteenth century, imitating the architecture of Paris. Therefore, in the interwar period, Bucharest gained a nickname Little Paris (Micul Paris). Between the blocks there are small but beautiful churches built in a style completely different from the Russian "bulbs". Much of the downtown was destroyed during hostilities, earthquakes and the implementation of Nicolae Ceaușescu's systematization program.

A huge square is the focal point of the city Piata of Unirii with a giant fountain in the middle surrounded by rather nightmarish communist masses. A wide avenue runs west of the square Bulevardul Unirii Bucharest's Champs Elysees, which leads to the People's House "Casa Poporului", now the parliament building, built during Ceausescu's time as the seat of the highest authorities. It is the largest building in the world in terms of cubature after the Pentagon in Washington. Few will like it, but it is a must-see when visiting Bucharest.

To the north, right from Piata Uniiri, there is the oldest church of St. Nicholas, built in 1559, and in front of it, the ruins of the Wallachian dukes 'court, built on the orders of the famous Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), the ruler who elevated the Bucuresti settlement to the rank of a city and one of the rulers' seats.

Moving north-west from Piata Unirii along the bank of the Dambovita River, you will reach the most representative street of Bucharest going north. Calea Victoriei. It is quite a narrow street, the buildings of which resemble the architecture of Paris. There are many Art Nouveau, representative buildings, churches and museums (including the very rich and interesting Romanian History Museum), theaters, elegant shops and restaurants. People tired of the crowds and noise of a big city can turn left from Calea Victoriei to Bulevardul Regina Elisabetawhich will take them to the charming, well-kept Cismigiu Park, where they will be able to rest a bit and relax among flowers and greenery.

History

Geography

Bucharest is situated in the southeastern part of the Wallachian Plain, on seven hills, which is reminiscent of the Roman tradition. The Dâmbovița River flows through the city, which is a tributary of the Argeș River, and this in turn is a tributary of the Danube. There are also several lakes within the city, the largest of which are Floreasca, Tei and Colentina. They lie along Colentina, a tributary of the Dâmbovițy. Additionally, there is a small artificial lake, Cișmigiu, in the city center. It is surrounded by Cișmigiu Park, created in 1847 according to the plans of the German architect Karol Meyer.

Besides Cișmigiu, Bucharest has two other large parks: Herăstrău and the Botanical Garden. Herăstrău is a large park in the northern part of the city. The botanical garden is one of the largest in the world, with over 10,000 species of plants, including many exotic ones. The total area of ​​Bucharest is 228 km². The city has a circular shape with the center on Piața Universității (University Square). The distance from the square to the city limits is 10-12 km.

Palace of Justice

Tongue

The official language is Romanian, a Romance language that is believed to be the closest currently used to refer to ancient Latin, but contains around 20% of the words borrowed from the Slavic languages. Most younger educated people will speak English well and will likely be fluent in one or more Romance languages; most educated people born before 1970 can speak French, Spanish or Italian fairly well. Roma (Gypsies) speak their native Romani language as well as Romanian and sometimes also English. Besides, as in any major city, there will be many other languages ​​such as Chinese, Arabic, Turkish, Hungarian and German.

Climate

Bucharest is located in the subtropical climate zone, with hot summers and fairly cool winters. Due to the city's location on the vast Wallachian Plain, it is exposed to strong winds. Winter temperatures average around 2 ° C. In summer, the average temperature is around 29 ° C, although it often rises to 40 ° C in the city center.

When to go

In terms of weather, the best months to visit the city are April-June and September-October. In recent years, during the summer months, the temperature in the city has reached 40 ° C. A trip during these months can be combined with a visit to the Black Sea (2 hours by car or train). In winter, however, after visiting the city, you can go to the ski resorts around Brasov or Sinai. Typical winter temperature in Bucharest is around 5 ° C. Snow rarely falls, but when it does fall, it often falls very rapidly and can paralyze the city for several days.

Preparations

Drive

By plane

Henri Coandă International Airport

All scheduled flights to Bucharest (BUH), including low-cost airlines, use Henri Coandă (Otopeni) Airport, approximately 18 km north of the city center along Highway 1. Regular domestic destinations include Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Oradea, Suceavai Timisoara - are operated by the Romanian flag carrier Tarom (part of Sky Team), whose main hub is. There are direct flights to most European capitals and major cities. There are few direct flights outside of Europe, but services to Doha, Dubai, Istanbul and Tel Aviv allow further connections. Flights to North America usually include a stopover in Amsterdam or Paris and are operated by other Sky Team airlines.

Tarom is Romania's national airline and Otopeni is its hub

• Baneasa airport (Aurel Vlaicu) (BBU) (5 km north of center). It is currently only used in private aviation.
• 1 Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), Calea Bucureştilor 224E, Otopeni (18 km north of the city center), 40 21 204 1000. The airport is large and modern. Airport shops, cafes and restaurants are expensive, especially in the departure areas. There is a Billa supermarket at Arrivals with prices that match the city center. It is about 300m from international departures, but a good place to grab a snack or spend the last few lei on departure.

The exchange rates at the airport are not good, about 10% below the official rate - but this makes the lei purchase rate similar to a British street. So use your credit card at the ATM in the lobby to meet immediate needs and exchange money downtown; or accept that what you get at the airport will come a long way in this inexpensive country. There are no dedicated SIM / Mobile service providers in the arrivals area, but you can buy SIM cards in a small spot selling newspapers in addition to the taxi-requesting machines on the right wing of the arrival entrance after exiting the airport restricted arrival area.

The main transport options into the city are express bus, train, private transfer and taxi. There are car rental points at arrivals, but you only need a car if you are traveling outside the city.

National road No. 1, the only one leading to the airport, can be very congested. A detour in the event of any traffic difficulties is almost impossible, so it is worth leaving yourself some time to travel to Otopeni, especially when departing between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

• Express bus is usually the best option as it is inexpensive and runs frequently. However, it can get crowded (lack of space for luggage) and can get stuck in traffic: during peak hours, allow up to 50 minutes to travel downtown, off-peak faster. The stop is located on the lowest floor of the arrivals terminal. There is also a ticket booth (open 24/7, payment only in cash in hoppers) and a ticket machine with English menus and a payment terminal. Two rides by the express bus cost 7 lei, 10 rides cost 27 lei, and the fee for issuing a paper card is 1.60 lei. Multiple people can use one card. To do so, hold the card against the first person, take it, hold the "" symbol on the validator (in older validators, press the "2" button) and apply the card again. As of March 1, 2019, there are four express lines serving the airport. One is currently suspended.

Lines:

• 780: Henri Coandă airport - Gara Basarab [via Primăria Otopeni, Aeroport Băneasa, Piața Presei Libere, Clabucet (M4 - 1 Mai), Gara de Nord (M1, M4, railway)]

Running: daily from 5-23

peak - every 30 minutes (also during peak hours on weekends)

off-peak - approximately every 60 minutes

Running: currently suspended (as of September 2020).

• 783: Henri Coandă airport - Piața Unirii (M1, M2, M3) [via Primăria Otopeni, Aeroport Băneas, Piața Presei Libere, Arcul de Triumf, Piața Victoriei (M1, M2), Piața Romana (M2), Piața 21 Decembrie 1989 (M2 - Universitate)]

Back to Piața Victoriei via Piața Sfântu Vineri, Universitate (M2) and Piața Romana (M2), continue towards the center.]

Running: daily from 5:30 am - 9:30 pm

throughout the course - every 40-45 minutes

When driving towards the airport, especially during times with little traffic, it is worth being at the bus stop a few minutes before the scheduled departure time, as it happens that buses are ahead of the timetable.

• Train: In December 2020, a direct rail link between the airport and București Nord station was opened. The journey time is approximately 20 minutes, the timetable is provided here. The ticket price is 4 RON.

• Private transfer: they have fixed prices per vehicle and are good if you have 2 or more people, or have a lot of luggage, or the destination / pickup is some distance from the center. Every place in Bucharest has to pay € 20 for a small car (like a taxi, max 3 passengers), € 40 for a 7 seater minibus; larger vehicles and coaches are available. They will take you everywhere in Romania, to Bulgarian seaside resorts and to Moldova. Bucharest Transfer is one of the few operators that search for competitors online.

• Taxis waiting right at the arrivals. The first step is to establish the meter indicator, the day and early evening of which should be 1.69-1.79 lei / km, which is 35-40 lei to the city center or old town (September 2018). At night, the rate may be 3.50 lei / km; they are sharks if they require more. You can call a taxi from one of the yellow electronic kiosks after leaving arrivals. The touch screen will print a printout with the name of the taxi company, rate, taxi registration number and call it on the sidewalk. Make sure the meter is in use as some kiosk-triggered taxis will try to drop you off (eg Taxi Cobalcescu has several drivers that do this).

By train

Bucharest has extensive rail connections both in Romania and in the region

All major rail lines to Bucharest use the Gara de Nord station. Direct international trains run to Budapest (two a day, 16 hours), Chisinau (3 per week, 14 hours), Istanbul (18 hours, every day directly in summer, in winter by connecting trains, but not at a slower pace) and Vienna (daily, 19 hours an hour). Trains to Sofia they drive 10 hours, with a change in Ruse. Trains to Belgrade, Kiev and Moscow are disturbed for a long time, choose a bus or plane.

It is worth using the night train to Chisinau to make the journey yourself. The train is an old Soviet tin can with a home decor and the locals are always happy to spend their time drinking the local cognac with a few travelers. Around 03:00, the train stops for several hours to change the track before the Moldovan border; in soviet times, tracks in moldova were built differently than on the romanian side to delay trains coming from the south, and tracks have not been changed since then. CAUTION!: the running of international trains to and from Chisinau was permanently suspended by the Moldovan side. The call suspension is not related to the COVID-19 epidemic. At the moment, it is not known if and when these connections will be resumed.

Wagons on domestic trains are usually comfortable and in good condition. All CFR passenger carriages have air conditioning, most have 230V sockets under the seats. Unfortunately, the standard of the railway lines does not keep up with the standard of the rolling stock. The only really fast long-distance railway connection is the route to Constana.

The main destinations in Romania are Brasov (2-3 hours), Constana (2 hours), Sibiu (5-6 hours) and Timisoara (9 hours). Change to Cluj-Napoca in Brasov. Timetables for domestic connections are available in CFR (Căile Ferate Române, national railway company) but only four weeks earlier.

Free tickets for students and concessions for students and other people are valid only upon presentation of a Romanian ID / document! ISIC, EURO 26, ESN Card or Polish ID card do not give any discounts on railways.

Gara de Nord

• 2 Gara de Nord (Bucharest northern station), București Nord, Piața Gării de Nord 1-3, sector 1 (2 km north of the center, connected by buses 105, 123, 178, trams 62, 79, 85, 86, 93, 96 and tram 42 , 44, 45, 46, metro M1, M4: Gara de Nord), 40 40 21 223 0880, 40 21 319 0358. More specifically, it is Gara de Nord A, with all main exits. (Gara de Nord B, 500m north and better known as Basarab, has only suburban lines.) The main ticket hall is on the north side of the hall, towards the exit to Calea Grivitei and the stairs down to the subway. The station has lots of coffee shops and ATMs - plus money exchange but prices here are very poor, walk a few blocks for more realistic rates. 24/7 luggage deposit, several travel agencies, a pharmacy and (essential for Romanians) betting shops. An old mechanical dashboard shows glimpses of bygone places like Minsk. The only taxi company allowed here is Meridian Taxi, see warnings under "Getting Around". For the airport bus, take the exit south on Bvd Golescu, cross over (watch out for trams!) And turn left to the bus stop.

By car

Entry to the city from the north (E60 road from Brasov and A3 motorway from Ploieşti), west (A1 motorway z Pitesti), east (A2 motorway from Constana), south (E20 road from Giurgiu) and downtown avenues are very crowded, especially during rush hour.

The A1 motorway leads through Pitești, Sibiu, Deva, Timișoara, Arad to the Hungarian border in Nădlac and in Szeged it joins the E75 road, i.e. the A1 motorway on the Polish section. Driving in this way, we will travel almost 90% of the route from Łódź to Bucharest via the highway. For residents of the Lublin region, Podkarpacie or eastern Lesser Poland, an alternative may be to leave Poland on the national road No. 19, then travel through Koszyce, Miskolc, Debrecen, Oradea, Cluj-Napoka, Sibiu. Most of the route is single-carriageway roads. Each route through Romania is a guarantee of beautiful views, lots of attractions along the way, and kind and helpful people.

Right in the city center, opposite the University, thete is the main underground car park. While modern and safe, finding your entrance can be a little tricky. An even larger parking space (with 5 levels) is located near Unirii Square, behind the Unirii Shopping Center, which is also close to the center and 10 minutes (on foot) from the old town center. Driving on some secondary streets can be a bit bumpy due to the relatively good condition of these roads.

The plans for the coming years include banning the most poisonous diesel cars from entering the capital.

By bus

Buses are a good option to get to Bucharest if you are coming from Moldova, Turkey, Greece and to some extent Bulgariagiven the low frequency and speed of trains between these countries and Romania.

If you want to ride extra long buses, you can also reach Bucharest from many cities in Western and Southwestern Europe; these buses are operated by Eurolines and their local association Atlassib.

Timetables for most domestic and some international routes are available here.

Districts

Bucharest is administratively divided into six districts (Roman. Sector) numbered 1 to 6. Each has its own mayor, a district council and independence in certain matters. Neighborhoods diverge radially, which means that each district contains both a piece of downtown area and suburbs. Some maps have a division into housing estates (Romanian: cartier), but it is completely informal.

Transport

Bucharest has one of the most extensive public transport systems in Europe, although it can be confusing and crowded at times.

Tickets for public transport

The easiest option for a tourist is probably the Activ card, which costs 3.7 lei at any STB point of sale (including the airport) and can be charged with pay-as-you-go credit and various passes (daily to month). You can get acquainted with the time-paid tariffs and the online subscription. The Activ card cannot be used in the Metro system.

When entering the vehicle or metro station, you need to validate your ticket: hold the card on the orange reader until you hear a short beep, the green LED lights up and you can read the message "Călatorie plăcută (have a pleasant journey)" on the display. beep (verification failed), please try again.

One card can be used to pay for more than one person (payable only for the second and subsequent persons). To verify the card for additional people, press the "2" button and then present the card a second time. To check the number of people for whom the card has been validated and the remaining balance on the card, press "1" before presenting the card.

From 2020, tickets for STB can also be purchased via the BPay mobile application (available on Android and iOS in Romanian and English). Note - the application does not sell STB Metrorex combined tickets.

Discount tickets are only monthly. The discount is not granted on the basis of non-Romanian ID / documents.

subway

Bucharest metro map

The subway, which has five lines (M1-M5) and covers the city quite widely, is usually a cheap and easy way to get around, even though there are surprisingly few stops in the city center as the system was built to transport workers and commuters from distant districts across the city to peripheral industrial areas. If you are staying outside the city center, or even if you want to travel within the city center, the metro can be a very quick and comfortable way to get around, avoiding the traffic jams and crowds that often characterize surface transportation. The network is frequent, fairly convenient, reliable, and easy to use.

Buses, trams and trolleybuses

Tram line 32 tram towards Alexandria

Bucharest has a very complex network of buses, trams and trolleybuses. At first, the complicated network of hundreds of bus, tram and trolleybus routes can be confusing. However, once you know your way around the network, public ground transport can be a very good way to get around the city, as the bus, tram or trolleybus stops virtually anywhere in the city. Vehicles are usually very frequent, although they can still be terribly crowded during rush hour.

If you are traveling by bus during rush hour, you should not expect to arrive on schedule. There are frequent accidents involving trams, as well as track blockages caused by badly parked cars. Information on current difficulties can be found on Twitter (only in Romanian, although these are simple messages, easy to put into the translator).

Make sure you know when to get off - even if the following stops are announced and displayed on screen on most vehicles, these displays can be unreliable. If you are not sure if you want to stop, ask your travel companions.

Night buses are also available. The main interchange is Piața Unirii. Buses run all night every 45 minutes. The lines can be seen here and network map.

From June 2020, test night courses on tram lines 1 and 10 were launched.

Bucharest at dusk

By car

Car rental is available in the city and at the airport. The average starting price for one day's rental (small car) is around 10 €.

Taxi

There are many taxi companies in Bucharest and you can easily find a taxi. But be careful; only use large taxi companies, not small independent taxis (which can charge up to ten times the price). Cars from these companies have rates displayed on the doors; the rate quoted is charged once when the meter starts and again for each kilometer traveled. There is also an hourly wage based on time which is not listed but should be around ten times the price per kilometer. If the taxi does not display these prices on the door it is best not to take it and find another one as you will likely be overloaded en masse. Some taxis have a low "night rate" listed in large type with an expensive "day rate" listed in a smaller font. So read carefully and remember that noapte means night. At the beginning of the journey, the driver should start the counter; if they don't, keep it in mind. If you are traveling outside the city limits (to the airport or from the airport), prices per kilometer and hour are often doubled or an extra 10-15 lei is added to the fare. Watch out for taxis from tourist areas. It is known that drivers demand large sums from passengers in order to recover luggage from the trunk and even toughen the passengers. However, most taxi drivers are more sympathetic than usual with foreigners as they expect to keep the rest when paid after the ride. Smartphone users can download the Clever Taxi app. The app will allow you to select and call a taxi to a location on the map based on the neighborhood and price.

Uber is available in Bucharest. There is no shortage of drivers using Uber, and some may find them safer and easier.

Boarding

Caru 'cu bere to zabytkowy zabytek - i słynna restauracja

Współczesna kuchnia rumuńska jest unikalną mieszanką rozmaitych wpływów kulinarnych. Najważniejsze z nich pochodziły z Węgier, Turcji, Bałkanów, a także Europy Wschodniej. Najważniejsze dania to między innymi:

• Ciorba - zupa o specyficznym, kwaśnym smaku. Dostępna w wielu wersjach, zarówno warzywnych jak i mięsnych. Są w Bukareszcie restauracje podające tylko i wyłącznie zupy, można też dostać je w normalnych restauracjach z kuchnią rumuńską.
• Mititei - małe kotleciki z mielonego mięsa wieprzowo-wołowego z przyprawami przyrządzane na grillu. Podawane z musztardą lub chrzanem, dodatkowo z frytkami lub bułką kajzerką.
• Mamałyga - królowa kuchni rumuńskiej. Podawana w wielu wersjach, najbardziej tradycyjna i najpopularniejsza to mamałyga na ciepło, polana śmietaną oraz posypana serem telemea. Czasem dodaje się skwarki z boczku, istnieje też wersja z jajkiem.
• Carnați - rumuńska grillowana kiełbasa, często w formie długiej kiełbaski zawiniętej w "ślimak".
• Caşcaval pane - panierowany rumuński ser topiony.
• Gulasz - popularny w Transylwanii, przebił się do kuchni rumuńskiej.
• Fish - w Bukareszcie przede wszystkim gatunki czarnomorskie.
• Kawałki grillowanego mięsa - Rumuni uwielbiają grill. W restauracjach często jest możliwość zamówienia zestawu różnych grillowanych mięs.
• Papanşi - najpopularniejszy rumuński deser. Jest to mały pączek wypełniony stopionym serem, polany śmietaną z dodatkiem różnych owoców.

Poza daniami restauracyjnymi, warto podejść do jednej z popularnych "simigerie" (piekarnie/cukiernie obsługujące zazwyczaj przez okienko). Można tam dostać różnego rodzaju ciastka z serem, owocami, idealne do przekąszenia w drodze.

Kuchnia rumuńska jest oparta przede wszystkim na mięsie oraz serach. O ile wegetarianie raczej bez problemu znajdą coś dla siebie wśród tradycyjnych dań, o tyle weganie będą skazani raczej na kuchnię międzynarodową - a i to może nie być najłatwiejsze.

Najpopularniejszym napojem alkoholowym Rumunów jest piwo. Lokalne marki: Ursus, Ciuc, Timişoreana, Silva. Zdecydowanie warto spróbować lokalnych win. Najpopularniejszym tutejszym szczepem jest Fetească Regală, wino o bardzo ciekawym słodko-kwaśnym aromacie. Produkuje się także mocniejsze alkohole, między innymi Zarea (coś w stylu brandy). Tradycyjnym rumuńskim alkoholem wysokoprocentowym jest palinka, jednak w dzisiejszych czasach nie jest ona popularna, a oryginalna palinka jest dość droga.

Przykładowe restauracje:

• Cafeanua Actorilor. Actors 'Cafe, strada Batişte (w Teatrze Narodowym). Przyciąga wielu Amerykanów ze względu na dobre jedzenie, a amerykańska ambasada i Intercontinental znajdują się po drugiej stronie ulicy. Sałatki, zwłaszcza ta określana jako „Act II”, to posiłek sam w sobie. Obsługa wydaje się być niezwykle powolna, odpędzając wielu mieszkańców.

Jedzenie (inspirowane kuchnią włoską) i atmosfera są w porządku, ale porcje są małe, a ceny w Bukareszcie znacznie przekraczają średnią. Trzydaniowy posiłek dla dwóch osób z lokalnym winem to ponad 400 lei.

Security

The emergency number in Romania is 112. The SMS emergency number for the deaf is 113.

Overall, Bucharest is one of the safest capitals in Europe. Crime statistics are very low. You should follow the standard safety rules in a big city (watch out for pickpockets in crowded places, do not walk around aimlessly at night, have limited confidence in strangers who propose things).

It happens that taxis are overcharged. It is worth using transport applications such as Uber or Yango.

In the vicinity of party venues such as Lipscani, there are usually policemen in the evenings who can be turned to for help.

You can often meet homeless people on the streets, but they usually do not pose a threat.

For a long time, Bucharest had arguably the largest population of stray dogs in a city in Eastern Europe. The problem of uncleanness was getting out of hand, with accidental attacks and, in extreme cases, even death. The city council finally decided to exterminate wild dogs, and today the streets of Bucharest have hardly any dogs to worry about.

Until a few years ago, near the Gara de Nord station, you could meet homeless people living in abandoned sewers, including children. Today, the neighborhood may not be the most pleasant visually, but there are no particular threats to it.

The least secure district of the city is Ferentari in Sector 5. Crime statistics in this area are even several times higher than in the rest of the city. There are risks involved in entering the area south of Piața Ferentari and Strada Trompetului, in particular around the Zetari tram terminus, the Ferentari bus depot and the development on Aleea Livezilor. While for urbex fans, local poverty can be a kind of attraction, it should be remembered that local residents may not want to be this attraction. The popularity of narcotic drugs makes the reactions to tourists in that area unpredictable. Other less peaceful settlements are Rahova, Pantelimon, Giuleşti.

The unofficial red light district is Mătăsari, which is also a popular spot for clubbers and pubs; you can walk there without worries as it is always crowded and lively but avoid talking to strangers in that particular area.

In case you get caught in a police raid, don't try to bribe your way with so many of them as you can get into serious trouble. The police are more likely to accept bribes from local residents than from foreigners, so they are not contributing to the phenomenon that has plagued the country for many years. Police corruption has been intensively fought in recent years and is not as generalized as it was in the 1990s. It's always better to walk along the boulevards and avoid alleys and alleys.

The crime rate is low, but the traveler must always be careful. Violent attacks are very low, but if you are attacked, shout "Ajutor!" or "Poliția!" It is very difficult for anyone to get away from a violent crime because because everything is packed so close together, any loud noise will attract attention. It really is a city that does not sleep. In most parts of the city you will find people at all hours of the day or night. The policemen are very friendly and the younger ones speak English so feel free to ask for directions. In case you need to report a crime to the police, don't hesitate and go to the nearest police station. Often they will help you as best they can.

Traffic is the biggest threat while in Bucharest. Be especially careful when you are a pedestrian and a driver. Drivers often exceed the speed limit, do not use turn signals, and make sudden and unexpected maneuvers. Pedestrians often cross the road outside pedestrian crossings and at red lights. Note for drivers - the fact that local drivers park almost everywhere does not mean that the police do not pay any attention to it. The level of bicycle infrastructure is very low and does not allow for a pleasant and safe ride through the city.

Asian tourists are more often seen as an easy sign for dishonest taxi drivers and other criminals. It doesn't matter if you are Asian-European or from Asia. Some young Asian women can also get a lot of skewed looks from men all over town - be prepared to stare at them, especially if you're traveling alone, though some men will stare no matter what.

Showing affection towards people of the same sex in public may be unwelcome.

Avoid wearing soccer jerseys or scarves of Bucharest or Romanian soccer teams (such as FCSB, Dinamo or Rapid), especially on match days. Club animosities are not as strong as in Polish cities, but there may still be unpleasant or aggressive reactions.

Stay away from protests. Often, anti-corruption protests are held at Piața Victoriei or Piața Universității. During the protest on August 10, 2018, military policemen beat up 4 Israeli tourists. Assemblies and protests in poor neighborhoods (Ferentari, Rahova) often end with police interventions and sometimes riots.

Poles and Poland usually evoke positive associations among Romanians.

Bucharest is located in a seismic area. Seismologists estimate that the probability of a strong earthquake in the next few years is high. When renting an apartment, it is advisable to look for offers in buildings built after 1977 that guarantee an adequate level of security. Before you go, please read on the rules of behavior during an earthquake.

Health

Bucharest can annoy allergy sufferers as it is very hot and very dusty in summer and temperatures in July and August easily exceed 30 ° C, so bring everything you need to stay comfortable. Remember that in summer sun and hot flashes can be very dangerous. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a bottle of water, sunglasses and a hat (or equivalent) with you.

Pharmacies are usually open from 09:00 to 18:00, but some stay open all night. There are relatively few over-the-counter medications available in Romania, but pharmacists are allowed to dispense limited amounts of certain prescription medications (such as painkillers) for what they consider immediate needs. There are 51 public hospitals (including 13 emergency hospitals, including 2 for pediatric emergencies) and around 18 private hospitals in Bucharest, along with a significant number of private clinics, dental offices and a modern ambulance service. The closest hospital to the city center is Colțea Hospital, located on Ion C. Brătianu Boulevard, right next to Colțea Church and about 5 minutes' walk from University Square. It is also one of the most modern public hospitals in Bucharest.

Tap water may not be the tastiest (chlorinated) but it is safe to drink all year round.
