The Romanian Athenaeum

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!

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.

Is very beautiful the architecture and a place that you cannot miss to visit. It’s was pretty fast the visit about like 30 to 40 minutes maximum because the place is actually small and the area is to visit. I paid 15 lei per person decent price and amazing experience they also have concerts there that you can also buy the tickets to watch one. You have to buy the tickets at the entrance and they only accept cash is not possible to buy online or in advance.

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.

Beautiful building and worth seeing even just from the outside. The architecture is elegant, and it’s especially charming and peaceful in the evening. A lovely landmark to stop by in Bucharest.

The most beautiful building in Bucharest. The home of the George Enescu Philharmonics. We saw a wonderful concert there. Very good acoustic and a great atmosphere. They have concerts almost every day. Highly recommended if you are in Bucharest and you are interested in a great concert.

Went for an outdoor free concert, but as it rained, everyone was sent inside instead! Amazing place, I didn't see it all but what a great venue for an intimate 6-piece string concert, just in the atrium / reception area 😲🤗
