Bucharest Christmas Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas market in Bucharest returns to Constitution Square, where around 70 wooden chalets showcase winter holiday gifts and traditional souvenirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These chalets are complemented by food stalls featuring traditional Romanian cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding excitement to your experience, the market provides a variety of entertainment options, from a Ferris wheel and carousel to artistic performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you wander, you’ll come across themed areas and games, including a space especially for children featuring Santa’s House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A particularly popular attraction is the ice rink, which entertains and offers an excellent viewpoint to admire the market’s imposing Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
