“Spend 1 leu on the Athenaeum!” was the slogan used for the construction of what would become the masterpiece of Romanian cultural architecture. The magnificent interior part of the cupola and its 25 images depicting Romanian history make the Romanian Athenaeum a must see for anyone new in the city. In addition, as the name suggests, the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra regularly performs there. Tickets can be booked by phone or purchased directly from the small office on the left-hand-side corner of the main entrance.

Built in 1908 by the Admiral Vasile Urseanu,the building was the first private observatory in Romania and only became a public institution in 1950, after the war. Its majestic setting on Lascar Catargiu Boulevard and beautiful architecture still recalls Romania’s interwar period. The building inspires a certain nostalgia of time immemorial, while the cars seem to chase each other along the boulevard. Adding yet more to its attractiveness, the observatory acquired a new and more efficient telescope in January 2008.
