Staying in Cotroceni in Bucharest
Cotroceni rewards checking the map at street level. An address near Bulevardul Eroilor has different transport access from one toward the Botanical Garden or Bulevardul Geniului. Use Strada Doctor Staicovici and the adjoining residential streets for a first walk, keeping your accommodation as the starting point. If a palace visit matters to you, check the official booking requirements before building the rest of your day around it.
