Top Instagrammable places in Bucharest

Bucharest has a lot to offer. From beautiful historic buildings to hidden ‘secret alleys’, beautifully designed shops, quirky museums, an emerging coffee, and foodie scene during a street festival, and the craziest nightlife in this part of Europe, Bucharest has got it all.

Be sure you’ll find plenty of Instagrammable places in Bucharest just waiting for a creative eye to capture it. No matter if you only spend one day in Bucharest or much more, these are some places you need to see. Let’s see some of these places together.

The House of Mita, the Cyclist

Historical House in Bucharest

The House of Mita the Cyclist is one of the most famous houses in Bucharest, known as a historical monument for its unusual architecture. Located in Biserica Amzei Street no 9 (Amzei Church Street), it is a huge and amazing building that impresses tourists not only in the winter season. From your first glance, you will notice the windows decorated with bas-reliefs with lions and cupids. The house’s architecture has the sign of Nicolae C. Mihaescu, built at the beginning of the 20th century. 

From 2023 to 2033, The House of Mita the Cyclist will be transformed into a conceptual and experiential cultural space – a meeting place, exchange of ideas and reflection for the city’s future and the well-being of the people of Bucharest.

Maison DADOO

Located on Popa Petre 13 street, Maison Dadoo is a unique creation atelier based in Bucharest, Romania, offering personalized services in a modern and dynamic manner, a place where floral design meets event design.

Every winter, it becomes one of the most impressive and magical places in Bucharest that captivates everyone’s attention, especially on social media.

Carturesti Carusel

There are so many fantastic spots to take photos from beautiful angles in Carturesti, but the classic shot is on the spiral staircase. There’s something about the white staircases and railings against the colorful backdrop of thousands of books that just screams Instagrammable.
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, Cărturești Carusel opened its doors in 2015 after five years of a massive reconstruction of the building where it stands at the moment.

The Romanian Athenaeum

The Romanian Athenaeum will quickly become one of your favorite places in Bucharest. This building is so stunningly beautiful inside and out that it became one of the most photographed places in the city. Some even say it is the city symbol.
If you decide to step inside for some pictures, please make sure to use a wide-angle lens to get the perfect picture for your Instagram account.

‘Dimitrie Gusti’ National Village Museum

Right next to the Arch of Triumph, you will find this open-air ethnographic museum that showcases traditional Romanian village life. It has 272 authentic peasant farms and houses, all with their unique architecture adapted to the way of life of each region. All the buildings were moved from their original sites and placed in the National Museum of the Village „Dimitrie Gusti”.

The Palace of the Parliament

The Palace of the Parliament is the world’s second-largest administrative building, after the Pentagon. It’s also the most expensive administrative building and the heaviest building in the world. And honestly, when you visit it, you understand why the Romanian Palace of Parliament holds all these records!
When it comes to pictures, there are two spots that represent a part of the most instagrammable places in Bucharest: you will want to head to the water fountains leading from Piata Unirii to the Palace of Parliament, and the Izvor Park.

CEC Palace

The CEC Palace in Bucharest, built in 1900 and situated on Calea Victoriei opposite the National Museum of Romanian History, is the headquarters of the National Savings Bank CEC nowadays called the CEC Bank. This building will definitely catch your eye the moment you pass by it.
The CEC Palace is also one of the capital’s most solid buildings as its structure was not damaged by the earthquakes that in time, left traces in Bucharest. Its glass-metal dome along with the entrance that features an arch supported by two pairs of columns makes the headquarters of CEC Bank one of the top attractions for architecture lovers.

Macca-Vilacrosse Passage

In keeping with the “Paris of the East’ theme, Bucharest has a lot of Parisian-style arcades full of cafés and lovely outdoor seating. They’re insanely beautiful to photograph and you can find a few located around the Old Town. The largest and most beautiful is Macca-Vilacrosse Passage, near Calea Victoriei.

It’s a great place to wander around with your camera or stop for a coffee in one of Bucharest’s most beautiful alleys.

Cismigiu Gardens

The “Central Park” of Bucharest, the Cismigiu Gardens are a wonderful oasis from the chaotic traffic of Bucharest. Done in the English garden style, this park is truly unique and easily one of the most Instagrammable spots in Bucharest.

There is a beautiful artificial lake with fountains, monuments, a beautiful bridge, plus tons of benches and trees which look even more beautiful during the autumn! The streets around Cismigiu Gardens are also well worth a wander, as they are beautiful and ornate and the streets are very peaceful.

Stavropoleos Church

The Stavropoleos Church was built in the first decades of the 18th century and is, even today, one of the most beautiful churches from Bucharest.
While most of the time, you have to head outside of the city to find a monastery, this one is actually in the heart of the Old Town, making it extremely convenient to visit.
