Located between Piața Unirii and the park Cișmigiu, it is the historical heart and the starting point of the development of Bucharest. Around the princely court, of which only ruins remain, this district attracted merchants and craftsmen from the 15th century onwards. Ravaged by a fire in 1847, foreign architects, mostly French, helped to give it a European look. The district is crossed by Lipscani Street, once the most commercial street in the city. Its name comes from Lipsca, or Leipzig. The streets Şelari (des Selliers) and Blănari (des Fourreurs), which bear witness to the age-old trading and craft activities in the district, are also interesting to walk along. To go from Lipscani to Blănari, you can take the Hanul cu Tei (Lime Tree Inn) street, lined with art and antique shops. Other points of interest include the Hanul lui Manuc caravanserai, the bookshop Cărturești and the Caru' cu Bere brewery. Having miraculously escaped the destructive madness of Ceaușescu, people now come to Lipscani to stroll along its lively pedestrian streets with numerous terraces. In recent years it has become one of the trendiest areas of the city, where tourists and Bucharesters mingle. It has in passing gained in glitz and lost some of its soul, but remains one of the most interesting to visit. The streets have a very special charm, where ruins and decayed buildings stand side by side with beautifully renovated buildings. A true concentrate of Bucharest.

Le coeur battant de Bucarest, ce qui la fait vivre ! Cette rue est LA rue pour faire sortir le soir, que ce soit pour manger un gyros, pour danser sur les rythmes endiablées de la musique électronique dans un des nombreux bars de nuit qui s'y trouvent. Elle est animée 24h/24h.

Le quartier du centre historique bordant la rue Lipsicani est, pour nous, un des seuls quartiers d'intérêt de la ville. La balade y est agréable, les bâtiments et l'architecture valent le détour.
