This is the perfect place for checking out the city’s pulse and the local crowds, as hipsters, creatives, corporate people and young mothers all tend to flock here to chill in the afternoon. Also a good excuse to stop for a cocktail, a lemonade or a local beer at reasonable prices or to show off your ping-pong skills.

Students from the University of Architecture founded Club A back in the 60s. It was the first club where locals could listen and dance to music from the west. Today it’s still considered a student place with good music, cheap prices and a youthful atmosphere.
As it’s busy every day, Club A is the place to be if you’re looking for a party. No other club in Bucharest will make you feel as much energy and joy as this one. Occasional cultural events and regular live concerts by local bands attract even more people.

Parks & Nature
The name, Cismigiu, comes from the Turkish cismea, meaning "public fountain." More than 30,000 trees and plants were brought from the Romanian mountains, while exotic plants were imported from the botanical gardens in Vienna. Cismigiu is Bucharest's oldest park and a great place to stroll and enjoy a break from the hectic city. Set amid green lush lawns and winding paths, the park offers a lake with rowboat rentals, a beer garden, a playground for children, a chess area for amateurs and plenty of park benches for relaxing and people-watching.

Spread over some 400 acres, from the Arch of Triumph to the Baneasa Bridge,
the park is home to numerous attractions, including a boat rental complex, tennis courts, and a rather old-fashioned fairground. In the summertime,
many terraces open up on the shores of the lake.
For an overview of the park, take a ride around the lake on the ferry or rent your own boat. The park is also home to the Village Museum.
The area surrounding the park holds even greater treasures.
The streets between Bulevardul Mircea Eliade and Soseaua Kisileff contain extraordinarily beautiful houses in architectural styles ranging from 19th century neoclassical to 20th century art nouveau and modern luxury villas.
This is where Bucharest's elite once lived - and still do today.
