Bucharest Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The city has some superb museums - from those that celebrate peasant art's contribution to modern masters such as Brancusi, in the Romanian Peasant Museum, to those that celebrate Romania's contact with European masters, such as the National Art Museum, Zambaccian Museum, and the former home and now dedicated museum of painter Theodor Aman. Most museums are closed on Monday and some on Tuesday as well. Exquisite churches, such as Patriarchal Cathedral, Stavropoleos Church, and the Russian-style St Nicholas Students' Church, sit like precious jewels in the crown of the city's skyline.
Visitors should note that Romanians are extremely religious and devoted to the healing powers of icons - these beliefs should always be respected.
After hours of sightseeing, there are few places more pleasant to relax in than one of Bucharest's beautiful parks.
