Museums, sports and fun activities in Bucharest
Bucharest has over 60 museums and memorial houses spread all over the city, which is one of Europe’s biggest capitals. Whether it’s Romanian art, the country’s rich folklore, or a piece of the country’s exciting history you’re after, the capital has a museum for it, with something to offer each of its ever-growing number of visitors.
Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of "Little Paris"), Bucharest, Romania's largest city and capital, is today a bustling metropolis. Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literarily means "joy." His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place.
While it’s not uncommon for hotels to try and brand themselves by way of artwork hung on lobby and bedroom walls, few hotels have managed to create a genuinely authentic connection between the artistic creation and interior space. UpArtHotel encourages young and grown-up artists too, and in ways that enhance the experience of their guests. Whenever you visit a hotel, the first thing you remember is the hotel’s interior design and interior furnishings. People are drawn to warm, modern and chic interiors that make them feel welcomed. The UpArtHotel in Bucharest is housed in a brand-new building that put all the efforts down to those special finishing touches. Those extra elements that make the difference. Choose UpArtHotel and discover paintings and art inside each bedroom and living area, created by young local artists.
