Bucharest is the vibrant capital of Romania, known for its elegant architecture and dynamic, forward-looking energy. You will find a fascinating European city that perfectly blends a rich history with contemporary urban development.
Discover the city’s heart in the Old Centre, or Lipscani, where narrow, cobbled streets lead you past elegant 19th-century façades and the historic ruins of the medieval court of the Wallachian princes. This district is perfect for exploring the city's unique character. For a sense of Romania's cultural heritage, explore the Village Museum, a large open-air complex showcasing around 300 traditional buildings from every region of the country, providing a wonderful insight into traditional Romanian life. Be sure to visit the massive Parliament Palace, located near Piaţa Unirii, which is one of the world’s largest administrative buildings and a truly imposing sight in the city centre.
