The Bucharest Sightseeing Bus

Bucharest now has double decker buses. And not just any double decker buses either. Oh no. These are special tourist buses, which run from 10:00 to 20:00 along a circuitous route from Casa Scanteii to Piata Unirii, taking in Bulevardul Kiseleff, Calea Victoriei, Bulevardul Libertatii and Bulevardul Unirii along the way. On the way back the buses will travel along Bulevardul I.C. Bratianu, Bulevardul Magheru, Ana Ipatescu and Bulevardul Aviatorilor.

The buses make frequent stops, and should run at 15 minute intervals, although as there are only four actual buses we find that rather ambitious.

Tickets (which cost an eye-watering 25 lei for adults, 10 lei for children, and can be bought on board) are valid for 24 hours, allowing you to hop-on and hop-off as many times as you like.

Headphones offer basic recorded commentary in a number of languages.
