a place with life, but mayorship didn't done almost nothing to look better, just the owners of places

I visited Bucharest inSeptember 2011. My guides were rather hesitant to walk me through, since Lipscani has lost much of its former glory. I however was interested mostly in the architecture; although they were sadly neglected, I could tell that the buildings once had beautiful " bones" and could be restored to their former glory with a little time and...

Lipscani is the place to go if you want to go out in town for a few drinks or dinner and you want to see what the nightlife is like in Bucharest. Very busy place with plenty of pubs, restaurants, beer gardens, clubs.

Lipscani is a street in the old town with a lot of restaurants, bars and old buildings, a place where you can find the Little Paris atmosphere.

This presumably means the district rather than the street. The district is also listed as the Old Town - see reviews of that, Manuc's Inn and St Nicholas Church. The street Lipscani is not the best bit of the district, but has plenty of bars. Go there if you are from Leipzig, it is apparently named after long-ago leipziger traders.

Recently renovated, Lipscani best captures the atmosphere of the old "Little Paris", as Bucharest was called between the two world wars.

It will be brilliant when all the construction work is done.

It's a work in progress area since the city administration is still finalizing the pavements/streets, however is a must see place when in Bucharest because it's full of pubs & restaurants and if the weather is good the terraces are full. Also you can see some nice architecture, so it's not just a good place for people-watching:)
