Bucharest: an old town between boulevards and landmarks

Bucharest’s historic centre brings together University Square, broad boulevards and the lanes of the Old Town. earthTV’s perspectives on Bucharest look across this central district, where cultural institutions, historic façades and everyday city life meet within a short walk.

Discovering central Bucharest

University Square is a natural starting point, framed by the university, busy crossings and the boulevards that lead through the city centre. Nearby, Calea Victoriei connects landmarks such as the National Museum of Art of Romania and the Romanian Athenaeum, while the Palace of the Parliament adds a monumental scale further south.

The Old Town, known as Lipscani, offers a different rhythm, with narrow streets, historic churches and restored merchant houses. Moving between the grand avenues and the smaller lanes shows how Bucharest’s layers of history sit side by side in one compact centre.
