BUCHAREST
Romania's capital never sleeps - it is a cosmopolitan, cultured city with elegant restaurants, theatre and opera, and leafy parks such as Cismigiu Gardens or Herastrau Park, ideal for escaping any time of the year. You will find broad avenues and former palaces, historic, ancient churches tucked away in side streets, antique shops, delicatessens, chic boutiques, new shopping malls and some exceptional museums such as the Village Museum, National Art Museum and the Museum of the Romanian Peasant. Don’t miss the colossal Parliament Palace (formerly known as the People’s Palace), the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon. It took 20,000 workers and 700 architects to build. The palace boasts 12 stories, 1,100 rooms, a 328-ft-long lobby and four underground levels. The interior is a luxurious display of crystal chandeliers, mosaics, oak paneling, marble, gold leaf, stained-glass windows and floors covered in rich carpets.
Spend a couple of days soaking up the excitement of this frenetic capital, go on a shopping spree, take in a show or dine in a fashionable restaurant with the elegant people of the city that is reclaiming its former title of 'Paris of the East'.
Bucharest is a great starting point from which to explore the rest of the country. Away from the buzz of the city, you will find a different side of Romania.
