    Beside the fact that is always crowded, this (almost) downtown beautiful monastery boasts the relics of the Saint Nectarie; resembles the one in Curtea de Argeș; religious song are played in the courtyard at an unmached sound quality; lots of history surround the place;

    Radu Voda monastery is in the centre of Bucharest and contains the holy remains of Saint Nectarie and Saint Efrem. The monastery is very pretty and well maintained. Being centrally located, it is always full and there is a line to enter the monastery in itself. The remains of the one who renovated it in 1977, namely patriarch Justinian Marina, can also be found in the monastery. It's worth a visit if around the central area of Bucharest

    A must be spot in a crowded Bucharest. An oasis of quietness. Bring a little bottle for holy oil from Saint Nectarie and also holy water. A place with miraculous powers for those in pain and not only.

    A serene place for centuries. Pilgrims profess their faith with care and kindness. I was in awe. A quiet line to touch the relics of two saints. I prayed for world peace and freedom for the children of the earth.

    The heaven is just floating in the air in this spiritual oasis in Bucharest. When going there I just feed the peace around me, no daily worries, no pressure, no malignity. It's a piece of heaven.

  • 5/5 Vladut V. 11 months ago on Google
    A very important pilgrimage location in the city center of Bucharest. The Monastery was built on some important remains dating from the Paleolithic period. The second church in this area was built by Alexandru II Mircea, a great-grandson of Vlad Tepes (named Dracula), and was even used temporarily as a mosque by Sinan Pasha 's troops from the Ottoman Empire. The Monastery has 2 religious souvenir shops, a place for candles, and also a market store with local and Greek products. The nearby buildings host the Orthodox Theological Seminary (high-school) in Bucharest. As an orthodox, I believe it is one of the most amazing monasteries in Romania, not only because it is hosting St. Nectarios of Aegina's remains but also for the feeling that the service is giving to me.

  • 5/5 IVAN G. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful oasis in the middle of the city where immediately as you step in is like you're being comuted to the Eden Gardens. Highly recommend visiting not only for its peacefulness but also for the blessing which St Nektarios is offering .

  • 5/5 Pro P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place, full of history. If you are in town, definitely pay a visit to this Monastery

  • 5/5 Karsten j. 1 year ago on Google
    You can feel that it is a holy place when you enter with an open mind and faith. St. nectarie has performed miracles many times. My own wife has experienced it herself. So go with faith and wholeheartedness and you will be met one way or another.

  • 5/5 Yi Y. 1 year ago on Google

    I met god's apostle here. A generous old man, who taught me many things about this monastery, and prayed for my future. I really appreciate his kindness, and pray for him as well.

  • 5/5 Elena 1 year ago on Google
    A piece of architectonic jewlery. In the heart of the city an oasis of calmness, with holly relics of Saint Nekatarios from Aeghina. It is built as a small fortress with a surrounding wall, a mediteranean well kept garden. For those who are intersted on Sundays they deliver a greek orthodox sermon. Worth visiting!

    Un loc de rugăciune foarte bun

  • 5/5 Steliana V. 3 years ago on Google
    Pentru acest loc am o afecțiune deosebita, doarece aici, cu mulți ani în urma, am absolvit liceul Ion Creanga. Și atunci locul avea o frumusețe aparte. Biserica acelor vremuri ere trista și abandonata. Apoi liceul s-a mutat în locul în care este și acum. Când am revăzut locul, era deja manastire. Vin mereu și mereu, și iar ma întorc. Sper ca în partea noastră de lume, mănăstirile și bisericile sa stea în calea tavalugului neo-marxistCivilizatia iudei-creștină, nu trebuie sa dispară.

    (Translated by Google) The services in the yard, the participation of the faithful in them, in the open air is wonderful, fascinating! It is ideal! Nobody crowds, they don't blow into each other's mouths, it's air, shade from the trees in the churchyard, but also parts of the sun, in case someone wants it. At the same time, the church is open, whoever wants to LISTEN to the service inside, can worship the relics of Saint Nectarius, at icons, can be silent in silence. The courtyard of the Radu Vodă Monastery is of a special beauty. (Original) Slujbele în curte, participarea credinciosilor la acestea, în aer liber este mirific, fascinant! Este ideal! Nimeni nu se înghesuie, nu își suflă în gură unul celuilalt, este aer, umbră de la copacii din curtea bisericii,dar și porțiuni cu soare,în caz că dorește cineva. Totodată biserica este deschisă, cine vrea ASCULTĂ slujba înăuntru, se poate închina la moaștele sfântului Nectarie, la icoane, se poate reculege în liniște. Curtea Mânăstirii Radu Vodă este de o frumusețè aparte.
