The Romanian Athenaeum

We enjoyed a visit and would have loved to have seen a recital or concert. The entrance fee is £2-£3 and when we looked at tickets for a recital they were about £15 so if you are visiting Bucharest I would definitely recommend looking in advance for tickets for a recital or concert. There is also no such thing as a bad seat in the auditorium.

Magnificent & lights up beautifully at night. The park area is nice with many benches, but some parts are not shaded. Wish i had the chance to visit inside of the concert hall.

It's the highlight of our trip in Bucharest! Quite a life experience for our 4-year-old daughter! She was not allowed to come in, but we called and got permission with a promise we would leave the concert if she made a disturbance. But during the whole show, she was quiet and enjoying it. Although we had permission on the phone, the ticket counter and the ticket checker ladies could still cause some trouble. We had to explain and argue for it many times first. But the place is incredible! Love it! Loved the show too at that time!

We spent 30 mins walking around the interior of the Athenaeum, which included the concert hall. We were so glad we did, the interior architecture is absolutely fantastic! The cost is 150 lei (€3) per person - cash only, and opening times are until 19.00.

Gorgeous and intimate concert hall. Acoustics are excellent, ine if the best I have experienced yet. On the inside wall, there is a 360 degree fresco synthesizing the history of Romania from the beginning to the end of XIX century. Definitely one if my favorite concert halls.

The venue was absolutely stunning, featuring elegant architecture and intricate details that added to its charm. With a modest entry fee of 15 lei, it was an affordable opportunity to experience such beauty.

The building itself is amazingly beautiful. We were at a great piano show by Cătălin Răducanu. Concert prices were 60/70 lei

Amazing architecture and quite breathtaking. Sadly most of the lighting in the building was not on so could only imagine some of the more intricate grandeur one would see illuminated with even normal daytime lighting. Would recommend to visit but check schedule as visiting hours change by day.
