I also have already been in Sinaia and I'm now in Brasov so I don't want to go there again

My gf is from Bucharest so I've been many times. Some random things I can think of:

Do this tour:

It's cheap and it's great. The guy who did my tour, Marius, was super knowledgeable. I'm a bit of a modern history geek and I was the only one doing the tour that day so I fired a bunch of questions. Even if you're not into the subject, it's still a great way to learn to appreciate the city. He shows you old churches hidden behind ugly commieblocks and stuff like that. In fact, never miss the opportunity to walk into a church, they can often be surprisingly cool. They don't care about you wearing shorts.

I can also recommend the opera. It's dirt cheap to Western European standards and it's actually high quality. If you google the texts you can actually follow it quite well.

The nicest area is around Calea Victoriei. You should go into the Atheneum, I think the entrance is free. The national art museum is pretty good too.

You have to do the parliament building. It's kitch as hell but it's just a shocking experience to see this result of Ceaucescu's lunacy.

Cotroceni is a very nice area not too far from the centre. Not much to do there, but it's a nice place to relax. There's a teahouse called Infinitea that is splendid. From the outside it looks like a normal house, but just go in. We once went for a quick drink there and ended up spending half a day sipping tea listening to a live jazz band.

If I think of other stuff, I'll come back and post them.

Just thought of something:
http://muzeul-satului.ro/en/

This is an outdoor museum with building in the style of all the regions of Romania. I've never actually visited it, but from the outside it looks interesting. And if it disappoints, there's a very big and nice park next to it.

Thanks man, i'm gonna try the opera and the musea, that's going to kill some time

You should definitely do the Parliament too. It's one of the biggest buildings in the world.

Also Biserica Stavropoleos in the Old Centre and Patriarchal Cathedral.

Changed my plan a little bit, I'm now in Sibiu and go to Bucharest tomorrow. This way I have a 3,5 days in Bucharest which is probably enough
