An English bookstore with lower prices than the market default. Situated in between one of the leisure/green areas of the town and bourgeois interbellum historical neighbourhood. Could be a nice walk to get to know the town better. Peasant's museum close by is a decent lunch/supper option

One of the best museums the city has to offer and a nice place to grab a bite or shop for some traditional objects/souvenirs.
Next to the rural theme, the permanent exhibition itself is designed as a work of art the late romanian painter Horia Bernea.

Situated in the Parliament building people go here more for the novelty of seeing the Causescu's palace than the exhibitions themselves, which, depending on the curator and circumstance, can be well worth your time. Check out their schedule first. http://www.mnac.ro/

Sometimes they have good exhibitions. They hosted Simon Henwood and some theoretical architectural projects I really enjoyed. A breath of fresh air in the sea of conceptual and political art.

Everything Else
This is kind of an "unintentional art situation". It's a cheap gastrobar, situated close by, that by circumstance still retains a communist era atmosphere. It's not a hip place, or a thematic pub, just and old bodega that has it's charm. I always pictured it like the bar at the end of 1984 novel.

Drinks & Nightlife
A bar and a social hub for LGBT and Left field comunity.
In a sense more of a formalism than a necessity but feel free to from your own opinion on how this emerging scene feels here.
A plus factor would be that the whole historical tissue that you have to traverse to get there is very tipical of 1920's Bucharest and you won't see that in the center.

A quiet place in an old building. I used to love to go there at night with my girlfriend and have a glass of wine at night or go in the garden to have lunch along with friends during warmer days. I like the no thrills atmosphere of the house with it's generous windows and cubic rooms. It's not the go out and party type of place.

Parks & Nature
I'm quoting from their website:
"Vacaresti is the result of a communist-era plan to build a lake in southern Bucharest, one of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu’s many projects to overhaul the city.
Abandoned in 1989, it was a massive pit surrounded by a concrete embankment that hid it from view.
Nature took over and created 183 hectares (452 acres) of wilderness where experts have identified almost 100 species, including the protected red-breasted geese, egrets, Western marsh harriers, European pond turtles and otters."
