๐ถ The Walk
The total distance is approximately 5 km.
Weโll start in front of the Palace of Justice (Court of Appeal).
Along the route, weโll pass by 11 more palaces, taking us through some of Bucharestโs most iconic areas:
- Calea Victoriei
- Old Town
- Ciศmigiu Park area
Weโll stop in front of each palace, and Iโll share some interesting facts about the buildings in our WhatsApp group. Youโre also welcome to search online and discover more about the places we visit.

We may also have the opportunity to visit art exhibitions inside two of the palaces, with FREE entry.
The exhibitions are open to the public and the artworks are available for sale. However, opening hours may occasionally change due to private events, holidays, or other unforeseen circumstances, so these visits cannot be guaranteed.
Weโll also take 2โ3 breaks along the way where we can sit, rest, have a snack, and hydrate before continuing.
๐ Weโll finish the walk inside Ciศmigiu Park, where you can either head home or stay longer for a drink and a snack at an outdoor cafe, weather permitting.
