Sudului Market is the corporate cousin of the classic Bucharest bazaar – all clean floors, glass façades, and air-conditioned order. It doesn’t smell like cheese or smoke, but more like detergent and calm. Stalls are neatly lined up, prices are written in careful handwriting, and the sellers actually have patience – sometimes too much. This is where you shop if you want tomatoes with a label, not with soil, and prefer neat carts over torn bags. Still, if you know where to look, you’ll find good produce and locals who know exactly which stall is worth your money. It’s modern, but still keeps one foot in reality.

 Access: Right next to the Piața Sudului metro station. Also connected by trams and buses – perfect for GPS-guided shoppers with a weekend plan.
