Sono nel nuovo quartiere trendy di Bucarest, dove gli antiquari, le gallerie d’arte, i negozi alla moda, i lounge bar e i night club hanno sostituito un po’ alla volta le antiche botteghe e le locande un tempo occupate da mercanti e artigiani. Passeggiando nel cuore medievale della città, nel dedalo di stradine strette e lastricate di Lipscani, che portano i passi del viaggiatore avanti e indietro, accanto ai vecchi edifici ricchi di storia, leggende e le nostalgie del passato, alla scoperta di una città ancora popolare, non priva di fascino.
Nessun altro quartiere di Bucarest è cambiato così tanto negli ultimi decenni come Lipscani.
Fino agli anni ‘80 questa parte del centro storico era in rovina, ma oggi rappresenta il cuore della scena artistica rumena, nonché una nota destinazione per la vita notturna.
Oggi Lipscani è probabilmente il quartiere più interessante della città, l’isola pedonale che non conosce tregua, la zona più vivace ed affascinante.
Qui il vero carattere di Bucarest si rivela attraverso contrasti evidenti tra le zone vecchie e nuove, le influenze dall’est e dall’ovest, nonchè i vari stili artistici ed architettonici presenti.
Il nome Lipscani viene dato nel 1750, perchè molti dei mercanti venivano da Lipsia a vendere tessuti ed altri prodotti, creando un fulcro commerciale ed artigianale.
Tappe da non perdere:
-la Biserica Stavropoleos, una delle più antiche chiese ortodosse della città di Bucarest. L’edificio, risalente al 1924, colpisce il visitatore già all’esterno non solo per la struttura ma anche per gli affreschi presenti lungo le pareti e per il piccolo e affascinante chiostro annesso, che contiene una curiosa collezione di pietre tombali scritte in caratteri cirillici e greci, risalenti al XVII e XVIII secolo;
-il Museo Nazionale di Storia Rumena, situato all’interno di un edificio in stile neoclassico, che in passato era la sede del principale ufficio postale di Bucarest;
-il Palazzo CEC, un imponente, elegante e suggestivo edificio, dall’impressionante cupola in vetro, che ospita la Banca Nazionale Rumena.
Insomma, uno scenario che lascia piacevolmente frastornati.
Il mio ootd? Jeans, maglione, giacca in pelo e stivali, comodo e caldo, perchè sicuramente vale la pena fare un giro in zona per immergersi completamente nell’atmosfera locale.

The Lipscani district can be identified as the true heart of Bucharest. Once the political and economic center of Bucharest, today Lipscani is the most lively and charming area of the city, most representative of the transitions the city is currently undergoing and most representative of its potential.
In Lipscani, the true character of Bucharest is revealed through the area’s overt contrasts of old and new, east and west, developed and decrepit, chic and shambling, brassy and bohemian. If any area of Bucharest has the potential to be a viable tourist draw, it is Lipscani.
This pocket of Bucharest is bouncing back as the capital’s main hive of arts, culture, and nightlife.
A decade of refurbishment has resulted in a charming, walkable quarter with enough sights to keep you occupied for the day and enough bars and clubs to ensure you never have to sleep.
The streets are pleasantly cobbled and lined with quirky art and antique shops, bookstores, theatres, and block after block of cafes, bars and clubs, between a mix of history, local culture and lifestyle, a trendy entertainment district and a favorite hangout for the locals.
The name comes from “Lipsca” – a reference to the German city of Leipzig. “Lipscan” came to refer to the many traders who brought their wares from Western Europe and sold them on the main street.
Top historical sites:
-the Stavropoleos Church, the most strikingly beautiful in Bucharest, was built in 1724. It is characterized by its beautiful stone and wood carvings, of which the finest are on the main doors. The courtyard outside has a curious collection of tombstones dating from the 18th century;
-the National History Museum, located in the monumental Neo-Classical style building of the former Postal Palace, completed in 1899;
–the Palace of Savings Bank, an eclectic building with a monumental central glass dome and entrance archway supported by pillars, beyond all doubts, a jewel which complements the architectural patrimony of the city.
Overall, a scenario that leaves pleasantly dazed.
What about my ootd? Jeans, sweater, fur jacket and boots, comfy and warm, because it is definitely worth going around in this district to fully immerse yourself in the local atmosphere.
