Bucharest’s flagship market spreads across vast Constitution Square with a centrepiece tree, daily stage programme and rows of chalet stalls selling carved toys, sheepskin slippers and regional delicacies.
The setting—right in front of the colossal Palace of Parliament—gives the event serious wow factor, while food cabins dish up sarmale, kürtőskalács and mugs of spicy vin fiert. It’s an easy stroll from the Unirii boulevards and old town, with metro links at Izvor and Piața Unirii. Families will find carousels and a Santa photo spot, while evenings bring live music and folk performances. It’s busy at weekends, so plan a weekday visit to browse at leisure before diving into the bars and cafés of nearby Lipscani for a nightcap.
