Plan a walk through Lipscani, Covaci and Șelari.
Ion C. Brătianu Boulevard runs north to south and splits the centre into two roughly equal halves; walk one, then the other.
Calea Victoriei forms the western edge of the centre, and the beginning of Calea Moșilor lies inside it.
The centre is known for its nightlife, so plan an evening as well as a daytime walk.
