Acquire quaint relics in Lipscani, designer wear on Calea Victoriei and flowers from
costumed women on the street.
Shopping Streets
Browse for jewellery and age-old antiques in the tucked-away shops of
Lipscani. Find fashion boutiques and perfumeries on Calea Victoriei
Boulevard. Take your time at Bucharesti Mall, a grey communist block that
has been turned into a shiny four-storey shopping centre.
For the staples of Romanian cooking head to the market stalls on Piata Amzei,
just north of the centre. The vast Piata Obor Market, slightly further
north-east, has everything from fresh strawberries to old lampshades and bustles
with life whenever you go.
Bucharest's shopping opportunities are loosely strewn all over town. Think
small is beautiful, and discover shops in backstreets and the most unassuming buildings.
