Spring has officially started and Easter is coming up in just a few weeks! It\u2019s time to check out all the fun things to do in Bucharest happening before the Easter holiday.<\/p>\n
Perhaps you will be here on a Bucharest sightseeing<\/a>\u00a0trip, eager to discover the city\u2019s culture and history. Or maybe you will come to Bucharest on a city break that\u2019s meant only for socializing and relaxing. Either way, we\u2019ve got your back and we\u2019re ready to present you our best recommendations:<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to leave the indoors and go enjoy some sun and fun. King Michael Park, also known as Her\u0103str\u0103u Park (Aviatorilor metro station), is always on the list of things to see and things to do in Bucharest, as it is the largest park here – a lovely, peaceful and perfect green oasis in this busy Capital city. In the park, close to the skatepark area and near a lounge cafe, a secret garden filled with cherry trees is hidden in plain sight. It is called The Japanese Garden, because of the cherry trees and of the details which you can find in it: a small pond, statues, paths in the green grass. It is a quiet and relaxed place to hang out, read a book, play with a frisbee or take photos.<\/p>\n On Sunday, April 7th, the Japanese Embassy in Bucharest is inviting the people of Bucharest to go into the Japanese Garden of Herastrau Park to admire the cherry blossom trees. This practice is called \u201dhanami\u201d. Check out the event\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and enjoy a lovely afternoon! The Garden can be visited every day, and of course, the entrance is free.<\/p>\n Next on the list of things to do in Bucharest in April, you can go on a boat ride on the Her\u0103str\u0103u Park Lake, and while you are in the park, don\u2019t forget that you can visit the Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum to check out different styles of architecture from all over rural Romania.<\/p>\n At one of the park\u2019s entrances there is The Arch of Triumph Square. The monument (Arcul de Triumf) is a triumphal arch that was first built after Romania gained its independence in 1878. Take a stroll to the square and also take pictures for your trip\u2019s photo album! You can continue strolling on Kiseleff boulevard, as it is a lovely and super safe path to take a walk on and admire beautiful architecture: on Kiseleff boulevard, many embassies and also the residence of the USA Ambassador are located here. These buildings are guarded and you should be aware of the fact that you might not be able to take photos of them. But you can always enjoy the sights!<\/p>\n As you walk Kiseleff boulevard, you will reach the Kiseleff Park, which is a neighborhood park with playgrounds for children, a small pond, a fountain, ping pong tables, a gazebo and lots of benches to sit on and enjoy the atmosphere. There are also a number of stone sculptures you can admire and take pictures of. This park is divided on two sides of the street. Have fun exploring it!<\/p>\n After you\u2019ve visited Kiseleff Park, you can include the Geology Museum, The Peasant\u2019s Museum or the Museum of Natural History on your list of things to do in Bucharest. All three museums are near Kiseleff Park and are a great way to spend your day. The Peasant\u2019s Museum has a lovely terrace called\u00a0Clubul \u021a\u0103ranului<\/a>\u00a0(The Peasant\u2019s Club) where you can order authentic Romanian food and refreshing drinks. If you like eggplant, try the zacusc\u0103 or eggplant salad! This place is decorated with authentic Romanian ornaments and here you can even go shopping for souvenirs. The Peasant\u2019s Museum gift shop is right near the terrace.<\/p>\n The next best event in Bucharest is\u00a0The Spotlight Festival<\/a>. Spotlight is The International Light Festival happening between April 18th and April 21st in Bucharest, on Calea Victoriei. You cannot miss this event, as it is happening a few minutes away from Ci\u0219migiu Hotel, your amazing\u00a0Bucharest accommodation<\/a>. A series of light installations, video-mapping projects, and architectural lighting projects of local and international artists will be displayed on Calea Victoriei during the festival, and it is an exciting thing to do in Bucharest. The festival marks two major events of the year: The Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the opening of the Romania-France Season in Bucharest, events which will be reflected in the theme of the 2019 edition: EuropeLights.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be shy, get out and experience the best\u00a0things to do in Bucharest<\/strong>\u00a0this month!<\/p>\n The day always ends happily with a smooth cocktail and delicious meal. You can try our\u00a0restaurants<\/a>\u00a0or go to the Old City Center and find pubs and bars that always provide good services and are very hospitable to visitors from all over the world. Have fun socializing! Have a traditional Romanian meal at\u00a0Hanul lui Manuc<\/a>, or try\u00a0Caru’ cu Bere<\/a>, one of the most famous restaurants in Bucharest. The architecture of these restaurants are truly amazing and, without a doubt, memorable.<\/p>\n Between April 11th and April 14th,\u00a0Bucharest Fashion Film Festival<\/a>\u00a0is happening at Cinema Elvire Popesco, Odeon Theatre, Promenada Mall and Fix | Botanical Bar. Go check out\u00a0The VR Corner\u00a0happening at Promenada Mall – the entrance is free, and it promises to be another exciting thing to do in Bucharest. The VR films explore a series of inner landscapes and dreamlike experiences, approaching gender issues, local communities, mythology and the power of movement.<\/p>\n While at Promenada Mall, you can go shopping and also enjoy the\u00a0Food Truck Festival\u00a0<\/a>which, like the Bucharest Fashion Film Festival, ends on April 14th. You can get to Promenada Mall by taking the metro from Universitate, located around 600 meters away from Ci\u0219migiu Hotel. The metro ride is only four stations: Roman\u0103-Victoriei-Aviatorilor-Aurel Vlaicu. Take the escalator to the steet, walk straight ahead, cross the road and take the right sidewalk for one minute and you\u2019ve reached the mall. There aren\u2019t many things to do in this area of Bucharest, as it is filled with office buildings.<\/p>\n After the mall, head back to the center and maybe relax a bit in your ultra comfortable 4 star room. At Ci\u0219migiu Hotel, there are three types of\u00a0rooms\u00a0<\/a> and whichever one you pick for your stay in Bucharest, its size will impress you. Ci\u0219migiu Hotel\u2019s rooms all have the space of a suite, modern facilities (Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, Chopard cosmetic products, LED TV, telephone, minibar, safety box, sofa, hair dryer, telephone, refrigerator) and an impeccable design. You might find this surprising, as the exterior of the hotel is Art Nouveau, classic, while its interior is very modern, with cool colors. Grays, brown, white blend beautifully and create a wonderfully cozy and classy atmosphere in any room. We call it retro-chic :).<\/p>\n The central location of this four star hotel in a landmark building \u00a0makes it your best pick for a cool and exciting trip to Bucharest. Plus, when you stay at Ci\u0219migiu Hotel, you have culture at your feet – the\u00a0Cervantes Institute<\/a>\u00a0is located right near the hotel – you can always drop by and visit their program. The green and romantic Ci\u0219migiu Garden is also in the area, and you can go on boat trips on the small but pretty Ci\u0219migiu Lake.<\/p>\n Both the ground floor and the last floor of the hotel have\u00a0restaurants<\/a>\u00a0and at Gambrinus beer house, you can enjoy an authentic beer prepared from an original century-old recipe! Without a doubt, this is one of the best things to do in Bucharest!<\/p>\nUpcoming things to do in Bucharest in April<\/strong><\/h4>\n
