Explore Bucharest

Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is a dynamic city known for its eclectic mix of grand historical architecture, communist-era landmarks, and a growing modern arts scene. Visitors are drawn to sights like the colossal Palace of the Parliament, the charming Old Town (Lipscani), and leafy parks like Herăstrău. The city blends old-world charm with edgy energy, offering vibrant nightlife, hearty cuisine, and rich cultural experiences. Often called “Little Paris” for its past elegance, Bucharest today stands as a city of contrasts and character.
