Staying around Piața Romană in Bucharest
Look beyond the square itself when choosing a room around Piața Romană. Strada George Enescu leads toward the Athenaeum, while Strada Mendeleev gives you a different approach to the surrounding residential streets. Check whether your entrance faces a main boulevard or a smaller road. For a useful first outing, walk toward Piața Amzei, then continue to Calea Victoriei and return via the streets around the concert hall.
