About Bucharest for Solo Travelers
Communist-era megalomania meets a rapidly modernising city — solo travelers find Bucharest's Palace of Parliament, Art Nouveau villas, and rapidly evolving café culture one of Eastern Europe's most surprisingly engaging cities.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Bucharest surprises solo travelers — the Palace of the Parliament (the world's second-largest building, built by Ceaușescu) is extraordinary and requires a guided tour, the Floreasca and Dorobanți neighbourhoods have excellent restaurants and cafés, and the Village Museum (open-air collection of traditional Romanian architecture) is perfect for solo afternoon exploration. The city is safe, very affordable, and the nightlife in the Old Town (Centrul Vechi) is excellent.
