CHRISTMAS FAIRS

Sala Dalles
The traditional fair at Sala Dalles will be open until Christmas Eve. It takes the form of a small shopping gallery where visitors can find all manner of gifts for loved ones: clothes, toys, jewelry, sweets, organic cosmetic products, Christmas decorations and candles, plus food and beverages, all beautifully wrapped. A cup or similar item engraved with a message can be a personalized present for someone special.
Sala Dalles, B-dul Balcescu 18, Dec 2-24, Mon-Sat 10:00 – 20:00.

Romanian Peasant’s Museum
The Peasant’s Museum regularly
hosts a traditional Christmas fair with a local twist: craftsmen from all over the country, from regions such as Transylvania, Maramures, Oltenia Moldova, Bucovina and Dobrogea, come to sell the best of their region’s traditions. If you wish to sample old-school Romanian foods, such as cozonaci, sarmale and pork sausages, this is the place to go.
B-dul Kiseleff 3. www.muzeultaranuluiroman.ro, Dec 16-18, 10:00-18:00.

Unirii Park
Every year at this time, a series of small wooden huts can be found in the park at Piata Unirii, to the delight of children who can choose from a range of sweets. The fair is mostly about food, rather than clothes or artifacts, so for those with a sweet tooth and foodies, it can prove to be a very useful stop.

 

SKATING RINKS

Cismigiu Skating Rink
The small lake in Cismigiu, the oldest public garden in Bucharest, which in summer hosts rowing boats, has been drained and turned into a skating rink of approximately 3,000 sqm, one of the largest open-air ice rinks in Europe.
Tariffs are RON 10 during the week and RON 15 at the weekends, and skates can be hired at the site.

Herastrau BTT skating rink
The Herastrau BTT artificial skating rink, which measures 1,300 sqm, has been welcoming winter sports lovers since the beginning of this month.
