Bucharest is a large city with many interesting sights. For this reason, it can be difficult to see all these places if you only spend 2 days here.
In order to get the full Bucharest experience, you should combine two modes of travel: by foot and by bus.
Like in other major cities from Europe, there is a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus in Bucharest.

The bus schedule

In the warm season, it operates daily rides on double decker open tourist buses.

the first bus departs at 10:00 AM

and the last one finishes at 21:45 (9:45 PM)

There are buses going every 20-25 minutes.

A full ride takes around 1 hour to complete.
