In addition to being the centre for Bucharest’s intellectual and political events and the most popular meeting place in the city, the University of Bucharest has a dramatic history. During the 1989 Revolution, some of Romania’s fiercest fighting took place here. Close by you can find the University of Bucharest’s School of Architecture, the National Theatre, the Coltea Hospital and the Sutu Palace History Museum. A Christmas market is held at the University Square every year, but you can find excellent restaurants and cafes in the area all year round.

This small Gothic church was built in 1402 and was dedicated to St. Cross in 1421 when it was a parish church. It represents a typical example of the rural sacral architecture. A valuable detail is the old Romanesque-Gothic holy-water font on the pillar, a unique specimen in this part of Dalmatia.

The Chiang Mai Art & Cultural Centre is located in a building from 1924. At this museum, you can find several exhibits including cultural activities. You can also visit the museum shop if you want to bring home one or two souvenirs or pop into the café for a well-deserved coffee break.

At the bustling Ton Lam Yai Market, you can find bundles of flowers like roses and orchids, along with produce and household goods. This large market is located near the river and you can come here every day around the clock. It is always open.
