City guide
Bucharest
A general visitor guide to Bucharest, not a recovery plan. Follow your treating dentist’s advice on travel, rest, food and activities; appointments and healing take priority over sightseeing.
Historical
Walk through history
Bucharest wears its past on every street, from royal palaces to communist giants.
The Old Town
Cobbled streets, the tiny Stavropoleos Monastery and the glass-roofed Macca-Vilacrosse passage. Best explored slowly with a coffee.
Village Museum
An open-air museum on the Herastrau lakeside with real village houses, windmills and churches from every region of Romania.
Culture
An afternoon of culture
Grand concert halls, art nouveau streets and one of the most beautiful bookshops in Europe.
Romanian Athenaeum
The domed concert hall from 1888 and the symbol of the city. Catch a classical concert or simply admire the building.
Carturesti Carusel

National Museum of Art

Fun & relax
Plan your free time
These are general visitor ideas, not recovery advice. Ask your treating dentist which activities are suitable and when.
Therme Bucuresti
A leisure venue with pools and saunas. Do not treat it as a recovery activity: ask your treating dentist whether and when swimming, heat or other activities are appropriate after your procedure.
Calea Victoriei
The grand historic avenue of the city, made for a slow walk with coffee shops, terraces and restaurants at every step.
Cismigiu Gardens
The oldest public garden in the city, five minutes from the Old Town. Chess players, rowing boats and shaded benches.
Romanian food
Eat like a local
These are general food and restaurant examples, not a post-treatment menu. Follow the dietary instructions for your procedure and check suitability before booking a meal.
