Lonely Planet review for Calea Victoriei
At its western end, Str Lipscani crosses Calea Victoriei, Bucharest's most historic street. It was built under Brâncoveanu's orders in 1692 to link his summer palace in Mogoşoaia, 14km northwest of Bucharest, with the heart of his capital city. The historic thoroughfare makes a nice walk, as it connects the two main squares of the city: Piaţa Victoriei in the north, and Piaţa Revoluţiei in the centre, passing many belle époque buildings.
