The working-class north-west, with the stadium and a long railway history.
Giulești is a working-class district in north-western Bucharest, with a long history tied to the railway workshops and a strong identity, both sporting and industrial. Its best known landmark is the Giulești stadium, home to one of the historic clubs of the city. The fabric is mixed: blocks, low houses, railway and industrial land.
Who lives here
Families rooted here for generations, workers, and anyone looking for low rents not far from the centre. It is a district with a marked character and a strong sense of belonging, tied in part to the football club.
What it is like by day
By day it is a district of work and everyday routine: shops along the main roads, small markets, the flow tied to the railway activities. The areas of low houses have an almost village-like look, those of blocks are more anonymous.
What it is like in the evening
The evening is quiet and residential, except on match days, when the district fills up and you notice it. Local bars, beer halls, little else. To go out you head towards the centre.
Getting around
Giulești is served by frequent trams and buses, and Crângași station on the M1 is reachable from the southern part of the district. The centre is reached in reasonable times. By car the position is convenient towards the north-west.
Eating and shopping
Supermarkets, discount stores, local markets and shops cover everyday shopping at moderate prices. The restaurant offer is working-class, with beer halls and places tied to the sporting life of the district.
When NOT to choose it
The fabric is uneven, with industrial and railway areas that help neither the look nor the quiet. On match days the district is crowded and noisy. There is no metro in the heart of the area. It is right for anyone looking for price and character; wrong for anyone who wants order and upmarket services.
