Hello Yasmine!
Well... what would u like to buy?
There are all sorts of malls or shopping centers in Bucharest... for traditional stuff there are specialised shops. I recommnd the one from the Village Museum. Also you may wanna try smo nightlife in Bucharest, in the old city part(near Unirii square), where the old Palace of Vlad the Impaler, from the Capital(there are several citadels across the country ass well) was during his reign. Vlad the Impaler is Dracula :-) His tomb is also located near Bucharest, in a nice church on a small island on the lake of Snagov. It's difficult to get to it, but you can see it from the air. I posted a thread on the forum about the sightseeing flights(How to have fun in Bucharest or Cluj? Sightseeing flights), and it's affordable. Don't come with Euros!!! Like in most of the European countries you will recieve the change in local currency, and no one will do the exchange corrctly... So, I suggest you change 100-150 euros at a bank(any bank, but not from the airport!!!)
