Lipscani is the old area, but it has been upgraded in the past years to a full pedestrian, no vehicle zone which compares with the best in Europe. many bars, cafes and restaurant and according to the locals (I visited in early spring, wet and cold) come summer this place is bustling with life and late night action.

It is hard to recognize this vibrant new area from its former self. It was a pleasure to stroll the old streets revitalized with new and interesting eating and drinking establishments of all kinds.

Read my review of the Old Town, and it applies to Lipscani as well since Lipscani is what cuts through the heart of Old Town.
