The best therapy: the club atmosphere

Foreigners also like the capital's luxury hotels, where they feel even better than in those from Amsterdam, London or Paris, at prices up to 40% lower than there. And, they say, Bucharest has something else, when a club party starts. “It seems like this people has never done anything else and the only pleasure is to dance and have fun. It's something I've been looking for a long time, to relax. When I see that everyone feels good, they do not just pretend, but even live intensely every moment, as if all the problems of their life disappear. This is hard to find, even in the most famous places in the world. That's why I come to Bucharest, for this atmosphere, for the people I meet here”, confesses Mike.

I booked for them a table in Nuba club, two weeks before their arrival in Romania, because it is hard to find places, especially in weekends. With us - three young women, whom will pass as their girlfriends - they will pay half the price for joining the club. If they had gone alone, they would have paid 100 euro each. This is the rule of the club: a single man pays double to entry, unlike those ones accompanied by their girlfriends, and us, the girls, don't pay the entrance. The young party people have high expectations from the incendiary nights they will spend dancing and enjoying music, cheerful people and expensive drinks. This kind of entertainment attracts as a magnet the Europeans who prefer Bucharest for the atmosphere offered by clubs such as Nuba - from the north of the Capital -, Nomad Skybar - from the Historical Center -, or Fratelli - from the Floreasca area. And they don't worry about mobility. Our taxis seem very cheap to them, and sometimes they prefer to rent a limousine with a driver, to ride as much as they want. The travel agency that they hired deals with everything they need.

Lower prices for similar offers

Mike is 32 years old and he learned, last year, that in Bucharest he can have fun with friends, better than in Amsterdam or even better than in Ibiza. Here, in the capital of Romania, about which he knew almost nothing until he came for the first time, he says he feels like home or, better said, as he wants to feel home, in a continuous party, surrounded by people like him. He was surprised to find lower prices than in the clubs with the same kind of offer, but also at the luxury hotels in Bucharest. Now, the three friends are staying at Casa Capșa, where a single room costs 100 euro per night for each, the price being negotiated by the travel agency, and they would have paid at least 140 euros in another European destination, for the same comfort.

After having the first very pleasant experience in Bucharest, he brought also his business partners here. At first, Alex and Mike were reluctant, because they knew almost nothing about Bucharest, but the first party in the club and the first shoppig session have convinced them that it was the best choice for a successful weekend. At the Gucci representation, on Calea Victoriei, Alex found the perfect gift for his mother's birthday. The same type of bag he would have bought from another European country, with at least 60 euros extra. And also, on Calea Victoriei, he has found a magnificent jewel, in a diamond shop. Also Mike has bought another watch for his collection, which he is very proud of. He has found the model he was looking for on Grand Avenue, the Marriott Hotel's luxury shopping boulevard. He is very proud of his new acquisition from Rolex, which he would have bought at a much higher price in another European capital.

 The fun will end at dawn on Nuba, and the day is reserved for sleep, then shopping at famous brand stores. But also the preparation for the next party, in the Historical Center, at Nomad Skybar, on Smârdan Street. It is the second club in the top of the preferences of the three friends, but not only theirs. And the fun here magnetically attracts foreign tourists coming to Bucharest. And when they want to feel more than the atmosphere in one place, the guests can enjoy all the other offers of the old center, where they meet new people, full of energy. The Historical Center of the Capital is preferred by all kinds of tourists who visit Bucharest, all year long, and the fun is always on, after midnight.
