For many tourists, checking out the major attractions in Bucharest, Romania, is enough to deem their visit a success. However, if you want to add another layer to your experience, you might want to take the road less traveled and check out the city’s hidden gems as well. Here are some of the best.

Strada Arthur Verona

Bucharest still hasn’t accepted its street art scene to its fullest, but it appears the process is well underway. The city’s walls and buildings are becoming more colorful each day, and you can find some really impressive art if you know where to look. The best place to start is Strada Arthur Verona, where you’ll be able to enjoy a number of impressive murals and graffiti.

Romanian Kitsch Museum

Even if you are not intrigued by “kitsch” culture, visiting Romanian Kitsch Museum should make your day. Here you’ll find examples of Romanian Kitsch displayed in the most tasteful way. This includes clothing items, objects, decorations, and all other things kitsch-related.

Armenian Quarter

Bucharest’s Armenian Quarter, also known as Little Armenia, is a truly unique place. Named after the large population of Armenian diaspora residing there, the neighborhood is usually tourists free. You can stroll for hours marveling at mansions, unique architecture, and green spaces while also taking a breather at one of the food joints for a traditional meal.
