Have you ever considered embarking on an extreme day trip to a European city? Well, that’s exactly what my friend and I did when we decided to explore the streets of Bucharest and the famous Therme Bucuresti in just one day. From catching the first flight in at 6 am to boarding the last flight home at 11 pm, our day was nothing short of exhilarating or as my friend, Victoria put it „We’re here for a good time, not a long time“.
Getting into the center of the city was quick and easy with the affordable 100 bus, which cost us less than £1. Pro tip: opt for Uber or Bolt for convenient and reasonably priced rides, as the yellow taxis tend to charge more.
We started our day in Bucharest with a walk around the Old Town. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Palace of Parliament, the world’s second-largest administrative building after the Pentagon.
We also made sure to visit Stavropoleos Church, the iconic Triumphal Arch, the historic Old Princely Court & Church, and more beautiful historic buildings. For book lovers like us, a visit to Carturesti Carusel, a stunning bookstore housed in a beautifully restored building, was a must-see.
Before heading back to the airport, we treated ourselves to a relaxing evening at Therme Bucuresti, a luxurious thermal spa. Thanks to a special discount in honor of National Women’s Day, we enjoyed three hours at the spa for just £11. The Therme even has a family-friendly area with pools, waterslides, a splash pad, pool bar, and a sandy beach.
Our day trip to Bucharest may have been short, but it was filled with unforgettable experiences and memories. Until next time, Bucharest!
