Capital of Romania Bucharest is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities with its many historical characteristics, its beautiful architecture and its feeling of lost days.
Bucharest has many landmarks and shopping streets within walking distance of the Central University Square, and the most prominent attraction is the Parliament Palace. Huge and spectacular; two words that describe this magnificent construction in the best way. The 340,000-square metre building contains 3,100 furnished rooms, and is the second largest administrative building, after the Pentagon in the United States. The construction cost we will let remain unsaid ;D
To understand Romanian history, we suggest a visit to the Romanian Farmer Museum, and for a walk in beautiful surroundings you should want to visit Parcul Carol I – one of the most beautiful places in Bucharest. Even the magnificent triumphal arch is a famous landmark of the city and is located on Piata Arcul de Triumph. In Bucharest it is close between the attractions, but don’t forget to just enjoy! Sit down in some of the city’s cafés and enjoy delicious pastries while watching the street life…
When it comes to restaurants, the range is also great. Here you will find both French, Spanish and Italian cuisine, although local specialties are also a must. The local Romanian food is of the greasier kind. Tochitura, fried meat in strong pepper sauce with either pork or beef (a kind of polenta) and fried egg on top, is a common dish. Like sarmale – Romanian cabbage roles (wine leaves or cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and rice).
Curious about the nightlife? Bucharest’s bars are scattered all over the city and finding the best places is part of the charm. Just like the bars, Bucharest’s most exclusive clubs are also hard to find. But there are still plenty of other cool night spots, and regardless of how you want to entertain yourself in Bucharest, you will find something that is just for you!
Flight and transportation
Bucharest has two airports: Henri Coandă International Airport and Bucharest Băneasa Airport. Henri Coandă International Airport is approximately 17 kilometres from the city and the journey takes about 40 minutes. Train connects the airport with Bucharest North Train Station. You can also take the number 780 express bus. Bus 783 connects the airport with the city and it runs all day, every 40 minutes in the evenings. You will find buses at the departure and arrival terminals. Taxis can be ordered through a touch screen in the Arrivals Hall.
You can either walk, ride a bike, go by bus, tram, cable bus or subway when you are getting around in Bucharest. You can travel by public transport between 5.00 and 23.59. Tickets can be used on all types of transport except the express buses. The most economical is to buy a discounted travel card that is sold in various kiosks throughout Bucharest. In addition to traveling by public transportation, it is excellent to walk around the town.
Cheap and safe
Romania is one of Europe’s cheapest countries to have a vacation in and is considered a fairly safe destination, but of course, normal vigilance is required, especially in public places and at tourist attractions. Romania is member in the EU but not part of the Schengen Agreement. You must therefore bring your passport when you go there.
