Taking a walk on Victory Way - MyPictureDay Submission

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and have a wonderful week.

This is my entry for MyPictureDay photography challenge organized by @timsaid, and I am very happy to join and share with you photos of a walk in the center of Bucharest.

Here are the details if you want to join too >>

What can be more relaxing on a beautiful spring day than a walk through downtown Bucharest?

So we start from the center of Bucharest and go to Victory Way, the most famous artery in the city. Victory Way stretches over a length of 3.25 kilometers, starting with Splaiul Independentei until the building of the Government of Romania.

The history of Bucharest has many connections with Victory Way. This was the first paved street in Romania, where the cultural and political elites met.

The old name of Victory Way is the Mogosoaia Bridge. It received its new name in 1878, after the Romanian troops, following the victory gained in the War of Independence, made their triumphant entry into the city on this artery.

Victory Way has often been compared throughout history with the Champs Elysees, an association dating back to the time when Bucharest was known as the Little Paris.

Victory Way is also crowded with numerous restaurants, bars and cafes, so tourists will have many opportunities to relax along this long road.

First, you can see the National Museum of History of Romania, which was founded in 1970, as the first museum of archeology and history in the country. The museum has an Imperial look and inside it there are plenty of beautiful things worth seeing. The building is also a historic monument, built in the late nineteenth century, in a neoclassical German-inspired style.

Thus, on Victory Way, tourists can also visit attractions such as the C.E.C Palace dating back to 1871, an important bank for Romanians. The building was built by architect Paul Gottereau.

Of course, there are other tourist attractions like Military Circle, Capsa House, Kretulescu Church, Roman Athenaeum, etc. So, I am waiting for you in Bucharest to discover them.

I continue my walk in the Old Center where I enjoy a delicious frappe.

I hope you enjoyed this walk with me. All the photos are were taken with Samsung Galaxy J5.

Cheers,
