Free day in Bucharest. Suggestions: National Art Museum hosted in the former Royal Palace; National History Museum; Choral Temple (an exquisite synagogue); taste the ample choices of local street food, very popular among the locals and increasingly sought after by foreign foodies. Designed, without sparing any expenses, almost two centuries ago by a team of German landscapists, Bucharest’s Romantic Central Park, the Cismigiu Garden, invites you to take a stroll through its shaded alleyways or to row on its two interconnected lakes and under the original arched stone footpaths. In the winter, you may test your skills, skating on the joyous ice-ring before or after a cup of hot cinnamon wine served steaming at the edge of the frozen lake.
