My first week in Romania was bone chilling. But on Sunday the sun shone warmly and the temperature rose by at least a dozen degrees. All of Bucharest came out to enjoy this first spring day.
These photos were taken in Lipscani, the renovated historical center of the city that only a few years ago was a district to avoid. Today it's a very happening place with cafes, bars and night clubs.

Glad you are thawing out.
Glad they made that quarter a place of good life.
Lucky you to be seeing spring-like weather in such a charming place. Also, nice and wise to restore these precious historical buildings so that people can freely wander and enjoy the scene. The streets and atmosphere look friendly. Thanks for sharing this part of your journey.
some of these photos remind me of my trip to prague. i'd love to go to budapeset also. lucky you.
It is amazing to see how many people come out and enjoy the first warm day. Great photos and thanks for sharing, it looks like a beautiful city.
The only way I'll ever travel to such places is through blogs like yours. The Bucharest shown here looks quite charming. I'm glad the atmosphere there has changed.
went outside they did. look at all those people. it is a happening place.
when i go to new place i often seek out it's old town district.
It is so wonderful when cities decide to clean up their city centers and make them the hustling. bustling wonderful place to be that they once were....just in a more modern way. I love seeing all the cafe tables ousted and the people milling about having a grand old time. Your pictures make me feel like I am there. Beautiful, colorful captures.
It is wonderful to see so many people coming out to enjoy the beautiful weather! And so glad you got to enjoy it as well! Your photos are terrific and definitely the next best thing to being there! Have a great week, Francisca!

Wonderful to see the old buildings restored and welcoming, Francisca. Yes, we'll be on the same continent soon, and hopefully enjoying nice weather at the same time as well.

The crowds certainly came out to enjoy the sun. I'm glad it's getting warmer:-)
How wonderful that new life has come to this district...I'd be there in a heart-beat! I hope you can enjoy more of those "warmer" days!
Yep. It does seem to be happening there. Looks like a nice place to hang out.
wow, a lot of people coming out for warmth, like a swarm! Thanks for showing us that City, at least i was able to see it because i might not be able to do that in this lifetime. Post for us more!
Much easier to enjoy your exploratory walks now that Spring is here I should imagine. It looks like a wonderful city for exploratin and ambling.
Bucharest must be wonderful and I know so little about it...
Bucharest is one of the must see destinations in the world. It is called the "Little Paris of the East" and this nickname is not ironic. It is a very beautiful city and anyone who has not been there yet should consider visiting it! :)
