Coworking
Hublou is on Strada Emanoil Porumbaru 31, in an area of interwar villas and embassies, between Kiseleff Park and King Michael I Park, which many people still call Herăstrău. Here's how to get here, where to take a break and what to see after work.
Getting here
By metro, get off at Aviatorilor station on line M2, right under Charles de Gaulle Square. From there, it's about a 5-minute walk to us.
- Piața Victoriei is one stop away. Change there to M1; Gara de Nord, the main railway station, is the next stop.
- Universitate is three stops away, Piața Unirii four.
- Heading north, Aurel Vlaicu is one stop and Pipera two.
Buses 203 and 205 run along Bulevardul Aviatorilor, stopping at Piața Victoriei, Charles de Gaulle, Arcul de Triumf, the Village Museum and Piața Presei Libere. On the metro and on buses you can pay directly with a contactless card at the validator.
For Otopeni Airport, take bus 100, formerly 783, which runs around the clock. It doesn't stop at Aviatorilor: board at Piața Victoriei or Piața Presei Libere. There's also the train from Gara de Nord, running day and night.
By car or by bike
Street parking in Bucharest has a single rate across the city. You pay by SMS to 7576 or in the City Hall parking app, and electric cars park free. On the service road of Bulevardul Aviatorilor you'll usually find plenty of free parking spaces. Do check the street signs before you park.
By bike, there are i'velo stations at Aviatorilor metro, Charles de Gaulle, Arcul de Triumf and Piața Victoriei. Bulevardul Aviatorilor has a bike lane from Piața Victoriei towards Pipera.
Breaks in the park
Kiseleff Park is a few steps away. It's a small park, about 3 hectares, laid out after 1832, with shaded paths and a statue of Omar Khayyam. It's good for a quarter-hour break between two meetings.
King Michael I Park covers 187 hectares and is where you go when you need a longer walk. There's the Japanese Garden, created in 1998, and the Island of Roses.
After work
- The "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum, at Șoseaua Kiseleff 28–30. Opening hours change between summer and winter; in winter it's open daily from 9:00 to 17:00.
- Arcul de Triumf has been open to visitors since March 2025, Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
- The National Geology Museum, at Kiseleff 2, is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
- The National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, at Kiseleff 3, is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.
- The Antipa Natural History Museum is nearby, in Piața Victoriei, and a good idea if you come with children.
If you walk towards Piața Victoriei, you pass the Monument to the Heroes of the Air on Bulevardul Aviatorilor. It was built between 1930 and 1935 by sculptors Lidia Kotzebue and Iosif Fekete and bears the names of 181 Romanian aviators. In Charles de Gaulle Square stands the general's statue, by Mircea Spătaru, unveiled in 2006.
A little history
Charles de Gaulle Square has had many names: Piața Jianu, then Stalin, then Piața Aviatorilor. It got today's name in the late 1990s. The villas around it went up after 1912, when the Filipescu estate was divided into plots, many in the Neo-Romanian style, designed by architects such as Petre Antonescu. Today many of them house embassies.
Running errands nearby
There are parcel lockers in the area, and you can find the nearest post office on the Romanian Post website. At Hublou, we receive our members' mail and let you know when it arrives.
Come and see the area
The easiest way is to work a day with us. Your first day is free, by appointment: we'll have a desk ready for you, with the terraces, the coffee and the parks a few steps away.
