Rain? The day for the Brâncuși rooms →The Art Museum on Calea Unirii holds early Brâncuși in the Jean Mihail Palace — and the Oltenia Museum and Casa Băniei, the oldest building in the city, are a few minutes away on foot.

Good to know right now
- The Christmas market opens on 13 November →
Book accommodation before that date: rates are at off-season levels until the market opens and jump on the day. The fortnight after it is the best value of the whole season.
- You do not need a ticket →
The centre is flat and crossed in fifteen minutes. RAT Craiova runs buses and trams for the longer hops — Romanescu, the station, the airport side — but a day in the centre needs no transport at all.
- The Brâncuși room is the reason to be here →
The Kiss of 1907 and the student bust of 1898 in the same room, four streets from where he learned to carve. The ensemble he built at the end is 110 km north, free and open at any hour.

Places that publish opening hours and are open at this moment, Craiova time. Hours come from each venue's Google listing — worth a glance at their own site before a long trip, and doubly so on a public holiday.
