Yesterday when I arrived to Bucharest Airport it was hot and humid day. On the lower level of the airport you will find the city bus stop. No 783 goes to the city center, old town, 780 goes to the main station. There is a kiosk selling bus tickets – for 7,00 lei plus 1,60 lei per magnetic card. They will sell you a ticket for two airport to city express bus rides… – 3,50 each…
You can upload also more money on this card and use it for public buses and trams except metro. They will charge 1,30 lei per ride – validate card when boarding the bus!
In the evening we had several spring storms.
Today I took a long walk around the center – to the University square where they have National Theatre, to Uniri Square with a row of fountains leading to the famous Parliament building – the monster block built during communist time (they say it is second largest buildig in the world after Petagon).
But the real pleasure is to visit here orthodox churches where they conduct the services – singing and praying. The orthodox cathedral is not far from the Parlament – on the hill. I have a good time in Bucharest after 41 years…
