How to Get to National Theatre Bucharest #

From University Square (Piața Universității) in central Bucharest, the theatre is a short taxi ride or 15-20 minute walk east along Dâmbovița River; public buses and trams serve nearby stops-look for signs to Noul Teatru Național.

Tips for Visiting National Theatre Bucharest #

  • Buy tickets online for opera or theatre nights-performances sell out, especially on weekends.
  • Arrive early to walk the riverbank by the Dâmbovița; the light there at dusk complements the theatre's modern glass façade.
  • If visiting for a tour, check whether rehearsals are in session-some studios close to visitors during production runs.
