If you are from Bucharest and don’t go anywhere for the holidays, know that there are many things to do here too. First of all you can enjoy the free city, we don’t have many opportunities for that. There would also be boat rides, movies and festivals. In addition, you can also take advantage of a walk on Calea Victoriei, which is open to pedestrians this weekend as well.

The wind blew, literally and figuratively, on the streets of the Capital.

• Reporter: What do you think of Calea Victoriei?
• Passerby: Very deserted. The people of Bucharest have left…
• Reporter: And that’s good, right?
• Passerby: Yes.

There are also many Bucharesters who stay in the capital especially for the holidays to admire the city in peace. “I went for a walk, I haven’t been for many years. It’s very pleasant. It surprises me, although I don’t even know when it’s crowded. But anyway, it’s very pleasant,” says a passerby.

Easter, spent in the Capital

“It’s less crowded than usual, but I saw a lot of foreigners and I think it’s really nice to see a diversity. There’s more air, you know,” says another. “Those who stayed in the Capital can enjoy first of all the free city, these are rare moments for the citizens of Bucharest. Here, in the center of the Capital, where queues of cars usually form, today the traffic is fluent”, reports Antuanela Raileanu, Observer reporter .

And tomorrow, on the first day of Easter, Calea Victoriei will be for pedestrians only between 10:00 and 22:00. and meteorologists announce that the weather will be sunny in almost the entire country.
