Planning tips

- Check language and subtitle notes after the 2026 programme appears.
- Verify each screening venue before buying multiple tickets.
Build a day around it
In Bucharest, an event day is best when it’s clustered. Treat the event as one anchor block, then pair it with one food mission and one simple walk. If you keep buffer time, the day feels fun instead of logistical.
- If you have 2–3 hours: arrive early → event → short neighborhood walk.
- If you’re making a full day: one museum/architecture block + event + a calm evening plan.
- If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafés/museums as your buffer.
Before you go
- Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
- Arrive with buffer: 15–30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
- Have a weather plan: keep one indoor “warm stop” in mind in case the day turns.
