Umbrellas in Pasajul Victoria

The Umbrellas in Pasajul Victoria are hundreds of colored canopies suspended along this covered walkway in downtown Bucharest. They create a protective layer above visitors while producing a striking visual effect that changes depending on light and viewing angle.

The Victoria Passage opened in the early 1900s as a modern shopping and entertainment destination. It maintained its role as a gathering place for generations before undergoing major renovation work in the 2010s.

The passage has become a meeting point where locals and travelers gather to photograph the colored umbrellas from different angles. The installation has transformed how people experience this old covered walkway, drawing crowds throughout the day.

The passage runs between Calea Victoriei and Strada Academiei, providing natural shelter from rain and intense sun. Several dining options line the walkway, making it easy to spend time here while exploring the surrounding downtown area.

The umbrella installation shifts visually depending on the time of day and season, making each visit reveal different color combinations and lighting effects. Visitors often return multiple times to see how the same space transforms throughout the year.
