Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, is known as the country’s “Little Paris”. It is home to both ancient colonial buildings and sophisticated structures, combining a wonderful mix of the old and the new. Some of its most renowned tourist attractions include the 12-story Parliament Palace, which was built in 1984, and the Old Town, where 19th-century buildings remain. Another reason to visit the city is its pedestrian-friendly streets! You can discover both the new and old charm of Bucharest by engaging in its multitude of free things to do and top attractions. Moreover, vacation rentals in Bucharest range from budget rooms to luxury hotels. If you want a more localized experience, you can go for an Airbnb instead and ask your host for the city’s best-kept secrets. To help you plan your trip, here’s a list of some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Bucharest, Romania.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

Calea Victoriei is Bucharest’s most famous thoroughfare. Dating back to 1962, it hosts an array of palaces, churches, museums, and high-end shopping establishments. If you want to stay connected to the many happenings in this area, you can stay at this studio near Romana Square.

Tip from Content Creator

Carturesti Carusel Therme Bucharest Fratelli Studios The Triumphal Arch, Pisica Patrata installation at Cinema Capitol

Once you've picked an Airbnb for your stay in Bucharest, make a list of the things to do there for an enjoyable stay. Here are some of my recommendations:

- Try their local sarmale (cabbage rolls), mamaliga (polenta) and mci (meat rolls). ⁣

- Learn about the Roma ‘gypsy’ community with an Open Door Tour.

- Visit Therme Bucharest. I wouldn’t normally tell you to go to a spa on a city trip, but this one was only 15 EUR (16.07 USD) and gave access to all the thermal and mineral pools, pink Himalayan and rainforest saunas, and a bunch of other cool wellness stuff. There is also a bar in the main pool! ⁣

- If you love reading, step into Carturesti Carusel - you won’t be disappointed. ⁣

- Take an ‘alternative’ walking tour of Bucharest to find out about the urban legends of the city. ⁣

- Head to Fratelli Studios nightclub, where they’re always hosting themed nights. We enjoyed a circus theme with a carousel, popcorn and candy floss! ⁣
