An Oasis of Liquid Restoration Ah, what a marvelous destination for the weary traveler, whose noble exertions—be they of the hiking, cycling, or merely "existing in the outdoors" variety—have left them in dire need of liquid sustenance. This fine establishment (or perhaps conveniently secluded scenic spot) provides the perfect setting for indulging in well-earned refreshment. One might argue that the view alone is intoxicating, but why stop there? With gravity-defying elevation changes now behind you, it's only fair to introduce a different kind of dizziness—the kind that comes bottled, preferably well-chilled. Indeed, to forgo such an opportunity would be an affront to both nature and common sense. A word to the wise: come prepared, for the local wildlife is tragically unskilled in bartending, and no weary adventurer should be left at the mercy of mere hydration.

The Central University Library building is one of the most beautiful cultural institutions in Bucharest and was founded on May 3, 1891 as the “Carol I University Foundation”. Construction was completed in 1893. During the 1989 revolution, the building was set on fire, resulting in the loss of an important collection of rare books. The reconstruction and modernization of the library began in April 1990 under the auspices of UNESCO.
