SHOPPING INFO

4. SHOPPING INFO 
Over the last decade, Bucharest has grown considerably from the point of view of 

the economy and commerce and so today it is truly an european capital. Quality goods are 

increasingly imported from all over the world, although, due to the peculiarities of economic 

transition, prices are generally a bit below other European capitals. 

The main area for shopping is downtown (Victoriei Avenue, Magheru Boulevard, 

Unirii Square), but interesting stores are popping up all over the city. Some of the biggest 

names in the fashion industry have stores here, such as: Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani, 

Burberry, Valentino, Rolex, Montblanc etc. 

The tourists are also invited to explore some of the traditional Romanian objects and souvenirs, available in many shops like Romartizanat shops. Here one can find hand-painted porcelain from Cluj, Galle vases, traditional red-white-black tablecloth and handmade 

Oltenian Carpets.
