The exquisite Athenaeum is the majestic heart of Romania’s classical-music tradition. Scenes from Romanian history are featured on the interior fresco inside the Big Hall on the 1st floor; the dome is 41m high. A huge appeal dubbed ‘Give a Penny for the Athenaeum’ saved it from disaster after funds dried up in the late 19th century. Today it’s home to the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra and normally only open during concerts, but you can often take a peek inside.
The peristyle is adorned with mosaics of five Romanian rulers, including Moldavian prince Vasile Lupu (r 1512–21), Wallachian Matei Basarab (r 1632–54) and King Carol I (r 1881–1914). It was built in 1888, and George Enescu made his debut here in 1898, followed five years later by the first performance of his masterpiece, Romanian Rhapsody.

The World Record Academy has recognized the recently re-designed fountains in Bucharest’s Unirii Square as “the longest choreographed fountain system” in the world.
Unirii Square in Bucharest is the very center of the Romanian Capital. The Olt Town is next to it, also the University Square and The Palace of Parliament.
There are more than 20 fountains in Unification Square, the Central one being called Bucur’s fountain, for the legend says it was the shepherd Bucur who founded Bucharest. In fact, Bucur built in the beginning of the 14th century, a small church near a river( Dambovita) where he found food enough for his sheep. Around this small church, people started to build houses and a new village came into being.
Unirea Shopping Center, a symbol of the new city, is now a very visited shopping destination, housing Zara, Mc Donnald’s, Bershka, H&M, Leonardo and so on. It is 84.000 square meters.

Packed with exhibits (including the obligatory Jurassic skeletons), the Antipa will keep kids of all ages - and their parents - occupied for a good couple of hours. There are all sorts of hands-on, interactive displays, as well as 3D films, artificial caves and - in the basement - a thorough guide to the incredible amount of animal and plant life native to Romania. The building which houses it all is itself worthy of note, purpose built in 1908 at the behest of Grigore Antipa, a noted Romanian naturalist who then set-up and ran the museum for almost five decades until his death in 1944.
Discover the diverse wildlife of past and present Romania via touchscreens, games, dioramas, 3-D films, and interactive exhibits at Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History. The museum features collections of invertebrate and vertebrate animal groups, fossils, minerals, and rocks, as well as displays relating to ethnography, anthropology, comparative anatomy, and geology. See the life-size models of living and extinct animals in the recreation of their ecosystems. Dinosaur skeletons and an artificial cave will keep kids of all ages busy.
