Get away from the city inside the city! A few garden-terraces in Craiova where you will feel that the hustle and bustle is far away

Need a break, but a vacation is too far away? You don't have to search too hard or worry that you haven't gotten anywhere this year. And you don't even have to "unfollow" your friends who are far away on vacations, in adventures that you didn’t get to experience. 😊

It's not something to be upset about! We searched and found for you, in Craiova, some options to help you feel like on vacation, even for a few hours a day. These are the terraces that were designed to look and feel different, even if they are in a rather hectic city.

So, come with us on this tour and enjoy a different vacation.

The only cafe with cats in Craiova, opened last autumn in a special setting, in a house transformed into a cafe, has recently returned sensationally with a terrace as bohemian and quiet as the interior. The courtyard of the cafe has been transformed into a real relaxation space, with ingenious furniture, as in a large outdoor living room. Of course, such a natural living room could not miss the cats, the small fluffy creatures who can't wait to find a friend to adopt them. Until then, go to Bastet and get to know the summer differently, in jazz rhythms, with natural shade, under the caresses of the fluffy paws of the cutest quadrupeds.

With over six years of experience in Craiova, the courtyard of Biergarten has already become famous for the different air it has to the detriment of other terraces. The feeling of old Vama Veche, complemented by colours, tables in the sand, unconventional decorations and the Belle Epoque-style house, witness to the most beautiful days of these six years, make Biergarten the place to be sure if you ever come to Craiova. Bonus: the MitMit food truck that feeds you in case you get hungry, so you don't have to leave the garden for a second.

Who would have thought that in a crowded city centre and close to its busiest intersection you can find a place where you can no longer take into account the noise and agitation? That's the feeling at CRAFT Rooftop, where you can relax with friends over a glass of something good or a tasty meal, right on ... the roof of the building. The phrase "On top of the world" takes on a completely different meaning - a real one - here, so you have guaranteed that you will feel different. It is not a simple terrace, but an unmissable experience!

In the Historic Centre of Craiova we have a location with a unique terrace, practically invisible from the street, which gives it its name: Hidden Terrace. The house, dating from the late nineteenth century, has a special vibe and a special architecture, which makes the interior terrace an even more interesting space, remade in a fresh vintage style, very welcoming and warm (in fact, cool, ‘cause that's what we want now). The geometry and the mirrors give the place a special air, and the fresh colours make you think that it wouldn't be bad for the summer to last almost all year, with great food and even better drinks.

Also hidden in the Historic Center of Craiova, the terrace of the Fado Irish Pub has been transformed into an intimate garden that reproduces, according to the ideas of those who thought of it, a street along which you meet different people and messages. The whole decoration of paintings and compartments is helped by a well-developed stage-like look, helped by “street” lights, so that the space seems much bigger than it actually is. Whether you choose to go here during the day or in the evening, you will find two different worlds thanks to the design and the distinct light in which the terrace is placed at various times of the day.
