The Romanian Athenaeum
The Romanian Athenaeum is the best concert hall in Bucharest. It was built between 1885 and 1888 with funds raised by public subscription, following the plans of the French architect Albert Galleron.
It looks like a Ionic temple with six columns and a large cupola. Inside you can see a large round concert hall with 1000 places. The hall room is decorated with a fresco that presents the most important moments in our history.
It is worth mentioning that in front of the Romanian Athenaeum is the bronze statue of Mihai Eminescu – the greatest Romanian poet.
In our opinion this is the ideal place to listen to classical music in Bucharest.
