This East-European city is known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards and glorious Belle Époque buildings. Its citizens have gained the reputation of bon-vivants (for that in the 1900s the city was nicknamed "Little Paris").
Now Bucharest has evolved into fast and flashy metropolis, yet preserving its historical charm. You can feel it while strolling along the streets of the Old City Centre and observing the impressive architecture of the Royal Palace and the lush greenery of Cismigiu Park. Of course a large number of art galleries, museums and whimsical Orthodox churches are also not to be missed.
The city is a host to the George Enescu International Festival, held every two year. This is an established cultural event named after the famous Romanian musician and composer. During the festival world-famous orchestras, conductors and soloist show their magic at the Romanian Athenaeum, a hall with acoustics comparable to Milan's La Scala.
In Bucharest you can visit the majestic Parliament Palace (formerly called the People's Palace), which is the world's largest building after the U.S. Pentagon.
It's advisable to avoid mid-summer visits, since temperatures soar, air conditioning is rare and much of the city goes into hibernation when students return home and locals head for the coast.
