Open Doors is an annual event in Bucharest that allows visitors to explore some of the city's most iconic historic buildings, including government palaces, museums, and private mansions that are usually closed to the public. During this weekend, you can wander through grand halls, admire intricate architecture, and learn about the city's rich history from guides stationed at each location. The event typically takes place in September and covers multiple sites across the city center, making it a fantastic opportunity for both locals and tourists to discover hidden gems. Expect long queues at popular venues, but the chance to see interiors like the Palace of the Parliament or the Romanian Athenaeum up close is well worth the wait.
