Midday: visit the Palace of the Parliament or one of the main museums (for example, the National Museum of Art). Afterwards, enjoy lunch in a restaurant with Romanian or international cuisine.
Evening: one last stroll through the centre, maybe a drink on a terrace or rooftop, then transfer back to the airport and an evening flight to Chisinau. Thanks to the daily Wizz Air service, such a one-day city escape is perfectly realistic.
