One of the few areas in Bucharest to survive the Ceaușescu years, the Lipscani neighbourhood is an authentic area in the rapidly changing Romanian capital.
Some of the street names still now carry the name of traditional professions: for example Selari, Blanari. I found the atmosphere pleasant; people walking everywhere, having a chat in the middle of the street, looking out from their balconies, children playing, almost no traffic, and the attractive buildings lining the streets. I passed the Curtea Veche, royal court in the Middle Ages, the oldest church of the city, and the citadel that was closed for visitors. At the end of Franceză street I also found the enormous Hanul lui Manuc. Originally a caravanserai in the early 19th century, it has been converted in a hotel but still looks authentic, with wooden stairs, arches and a large courtyard. The historic quarter of Bucharest may not be very large, it definitely deserves a visit - and a long-awaited restoration program by the authorities.
