Római part (‘Roman Embankment’) is a place of pilgrimage for those who like to spend time by the Danube, eating fried fish with a cold beer in hand, sold from any number of outlets and eateries that line the riverfront. No-one one leaves Római hungry – although you might also collect a few mosquito bites. If you’re looking for something special, check Fellini: the place looks like a set from a Wes Anderson movie, where you can laze around in pastel deck chairs, entertained by occasional live music. The Római is also popular with cyclists, rowers, runners and dog walkers.
