Lipscani, Commercial thoroughfare in Old Town, Bucharest, Romania
Lipscani Street extends through the medieval center of Bucharest, connecting multiple architectural styles including Baroque, Neoclassical, and Art Nouveau buildings throughout its length.
The street received its name in 1750, referencing merchants from Leipzig who traded goods from Western Europe, replacing its former designation as Ulița Mare.
The district retains its traditional trade character with streets named after specific crafts, such as Blănari for furriers and Șelari for saddlers.
Visitors should note the uneven pavement conditions while exploring this pedestrian zone, which contains numerous restaurants, bars, and retail establishments.
The area survived planned demolition during the Communist period, preserving medieval structures that now stand alongside modern retail chains.
