Shopping centers

If in most of european countries it is not likely to find a store open after 7 pm, you won’t have this problem here. Shopping has become a national sport in the capitalist Romania so even on Sundays you will find the stores full of people. There is a shopping mall in all major neighbourhoods of Bucharest. And they’re all pretty accessible by public transport (don’t ask about the city traffic). Here are some metro stops where you find plenty of stores to shop or eat:
Metro Grozavesti
Metro Armata Poporului
Metro Eroii Revolutiei
Metro Piata Unirii
…and many many more.
