If there were people taking a walk, trees, cafés, children playing, etc on this square instead of cars, exhaust fumes and noise then it would be infinitely nicer
If it were a wider angle photo you’d be able to see a few cafes, a museum and a pretty big park to the left of there. Bucharest’s not the greenest city in Europe or anything but it’s definitely not as bad as it seems in the photo.
@jenesaisquoi This is a place where people frequently gather to protest the government, sometimes also bringing their children and pets with them (and traffic is closed when too many people are there). Don’t know if that counts, haha
My only experience with Romania is Cluj, exactly ten years ago, but even compared to Hungary I’ve felt like I’ve travelled over two decades back in time. Badly designed car infrastructure, no transit to speak of, cars on sidewalks that you need to squeeze by, restaurants that MAY have a tiny non-smoker section…
Imho it gotten better at least from my experience earlier this year (Romania in general, never been to Cluj). But I had an similar experience when crossing from Romania into Bulgaria there I really had the feeling to travel a few decades back in time.
sad.
Whyyyy did they not make it symmetric to the road?!
Just don’t check our recent political events please
Eh, I wanted to focus on the positive stuff for just a bit.
