This is Lipscani Street in Old Town known to most locals as Centru Vechi (the Old Centre). Lipscani is the defining street of old town. The majority of streets in the area are pedestrian.

Old Town is more or less all that’s left of pre-World War II Bucharest.

What the war didn’t destroy (and it destroyed a fair bit - allied bombing was fierce during the early part of 1944) communism finished.

Most notably the grandiose Civic Centre project saw almost a fifth of the total area of the city flattened to make way for Bulevardul Unirii and Casa Poporului (People's Palace). That anything of old town survives at all is little short of a miracle.

After decades of neglect, major infrastructure renovation works have breathed new life into Bucharest’s Old Town.

Many of its superb period buildings have been refurbished or restored, while others, whose beauty contrasts sharply with their state of degradation, are still waiting for their time.

Nevertheless, the historic architecture, old churches, outdoor terraces and cafés and the romantic feel make Old Town an enticing area of the city.

Sau cum arata fericirea intr-o frapiera :)
