Somewhere Between Rome and Bucharest

A bright red Vespa parked outside Grădina Verona, beneath a canopy of green leaves and hidden from the city's busy boulevards.

It is one of those small Bucharest scenes that feels borrowed from somewhere else for a moment. A quiet side street. An old iron fence. Summer shade. A splash of Italian red against the grey stone of the city.

Then you look closer and remember exactly where you are.

Bucharest has always had a talent for surprising you when you least expect it ❤️

Drumul Taberei Park

Drumul Taberei Park is one of those places where Bucharest suddenly feels wider, calmer and greener.

With open lawns, walking paths, water features, playgrounds and generous landscaped areas, the park has become one of the main outdoor spaces for residents in western Bucharest.

It is not a hidden corner or a historic garden like Cișmigiu, but a large neighbourhood park built for everyday life: walks, children, benches, sports, shade and slow afternoons.

In a few days, the same park will also host West Side Flower Fest, bringing even more colour to an already green part of the city.

Happy Children's Day from Bucharest ✨📚🌍🧒

A little wooden nook hidden between bookshelves can look like a simple design detail to adults.

But for a child, it is immediately something else: a secret hideout, a small stage for imagination, a quiet corner where a book, a few drawings and a little curiosity are enough to make the rest of the world disappear.

That is the beautiful thing about childhood. It does not need much space to become infinite. An empty nook becomes a world of possibilities the moment a child steps inside.

May every child always find a little space to dream, imagine and create entire universes of their own!

Retro Cars Expo on Calea Victoriei

For one weekend, Calea Victoriei becomes a small showcase of classic motoring history.

Beautifully preserved vintage cars bring together different pieces of Romania’s automotive past, from familiar civilian models to rare cars that still carry the design, colours and details of another era.

Against the backdrop of Bucharest’s historic architecture, the exhibition feels like a living photo album. Chrome details, period styling, original interiors and distinctive silhouettes remind visitors how much both cars and the city have changed over the decades.

Part of the Open Streets programme, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to admire these vehicles up close while walking along one of Bucharest’s most famous boulevards.

Women on Mătăsari Festival - Femei pe Mătăsari

Mătăsari was once one of Bucharest’s most infamous streets, known for women practising what is often called the oldest profession in the world.

Today, during Femei pe Mătăsari, the same street tells a completely different story.

Women appear everywhere — on walls, in paintings, in performances, in the crowd, behind small creative brands, in music, design, fashion and street art. The festival does not erase the past of the neighbourhood. It transforms it into something public, creative and alive.

This year’s edition also feels more fragile than usual. Organisers are asking visitors for small donations to help keep the festival alive next year, a reminder that even Bucharest’s most loved urban events need public support to survive.

For a few days, Mătăsari becomes more than a street. It becomes a statement about women, memory, creativity and the right of a city to rewrite its own image.

Painting in the Courtyard of the National Museum of Art During BDF - Bucharest Design Festival

For a few hours, the courtyard of the National Museum of Art of Romania became an open-air studio as participants picked up brushes and explored their creativity during a painting workshop supported by Calea Victoriei Foundation.

Part of Bucharest Design Festival, the session offered a chance to slow down, learn new techniques and create art in one of Bucharest's most remarkable cultural settings.

La Festa di Rusalii: Where Bucharest Meets Italy

This weekend, Bucharest celebrates more than a festival. It celebrates the opening of a new chapter for Piața Italiană The Italian Square.

La Festa di Rusalii brings together Romanian traditions, Italian culture, local producers and visitors in a lively urban gathering that also marks the inauguration of the square as a future venue for community events.

The timing is symbolic. Just days before Italy’s National Day, Festa della Repubblica, celebrated on June 2, Piața Italiană becomes a meeting point between Romania and Italy — through food, music, conversation and a Mediterranean atmosphere that feels naturally at home in Bucharest.

Families relax in the sun, children play between the tables, visitors discover Italian flavours and local products, while the square starts to feel like what it was meant to be: a public place for people.

If the atmosphere is any indication, Piața Italiană may become one of Bucharest’s most pleasant new gathering spaces.
