Our guide
Our recommendations
- The Chabad house runs its own kosher restaurant - contact ahead to coordinate meals.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Bucharest
Bucharest does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad Lubavitch of Romania (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Bucharest.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
