Question Is Bucharest Worth Visiting This June?

[BeyondDestinations]

Today is March 2nd and we have a river cruise booked for June 9 for a few weeks, but I'm a bit uncertain about making a stop in Bucharest, Romania. I've heard mixed reviews about the city. Is it worth the visit? What are the must-see attractions and experiences? Also, any tips on local cuisine or best areas to stay would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Bucharest can be a fascinating stop on your cruise! While it does have a mix of reviews, I think it offers a unique blend of history and modernity. Check out the Palace of the Parliament for its impressive architecture, and stroll through the Old Town for vibrant cafes and a lively atmosphere. For local cuisine, definitely try sarmale (cabbage rolls) and cozonac (sweet bread). As for accommodations, the Old Town area is great for being close to the action. If you’re open to exploring, it could make for a memorable experience! What's your main focus—historical sites, food, or culture?
