With a clash of old French architecture, a new Berlin inspired attitude, and incredible street art, Bucharest is an “Instagram-able” vision.
To make your friends jealous or your followers intrigued we have the suggestions where you can take unforgettable photos. Top Instagram locations in Bucharest include:
1. The Umbrella Alley
Probably the most Insta-famous location in Bucharest is Pasajul Victoria. It’s a small alleyway off the French-inspired Boulevard that gives Bucharest the nickname of Little Paris.
The rainbow-colored open umbrellas, attached at 2 meters overhead from one side to the other of the alleyway, is what made this location iconic. They were placed there by the pizzeria owner in an attempt to attract more customers.
Location: Off Calea Victoriei, in Pasajul Victoriei
2. Stavropoleos Church
With its incredible Eastern Orthodox style, it’s a top Instagram location because of its incredible courtyard. It was initially used as a nun monastery in the 18th century. It is located behind the National History Museum.
Even if it had a long period in which it had not been restored, it now rejoices in being a well preserved and visited landmark. Besides the building, there is a vast collection of artifacts including the wood carved original chair of the Phanariot ruler Nicolae Mavrocordat.
Location: Stavropoleos Street 4
3. Arthur Verona Street
If you enjoy art, a street named after a painter should be on your top Instagram locations in Bucharest. It’s a colorful experience of murals. It’s not the only location where Bucharest showcases its street art but a definite must-see.
The great advantage is that the murals are constantly changing. So what you’ve seen last year, will not be what you experience on this trip. Just another reason to visit Romania more than once.
Location: Arthur Verona Street
4. Cismigiu Garden
During summer the leafy landscape, stone bridge, and statues make it incredible. In the cold season, the frozen lake that is a natural skating ring is what makes it a top Instagram location in Bucharest.
It’s also a great location for a picnic and you can even consider renting out a pedal boat to fully enjoy the lake. Known to be one of the oldest parks in Bucharest, it is located in the heart of the city.
Location: Off Queen Elisabeth Boulevard
5. Romanian Athenaeum
This concert hall is a grand building with an extraordinary interior. More than just a spot on the top Instagram locations in Bucharest, the Romanian Athenaeum is a great place for a whole photo shoot.
The main hall is supported by incredible circular colonnades and two spiral staircases. The facade doesn’t disappoint either, with its detailed architectural elements.
The great advantage is that you don’t have to attend an event here to photograph the exterior and interior. Just visit during open hours.
Location: Franklin Street 1-3
