Bucharest, RO

Just to be clear, this is a super extra short sneak peak of what the city of Bucharest has to offer. Bucharest is the capital city of Romania and it’s by far, the most beautiful city in the country, wchich has the most amazing buildings, especially in the city centre. What we are going to show you here in this post are a few pictures we took on Saturday, while wandering around the streets, searching for some of the famous buildings made by Romanian architects. Unfortunately we only spent the weekend in Bucharest so we didn’t have much time to visit all its heritage. But still, a city break in Bucharest is worth everything! Mostly because nowadays the flights are cheap, so you can easily get there by plane from either Cluj-Napoca, Iasi or Timisoara. The accomodation is also easy to find, if you don’t have at least one friend or a friend of a friend who lives there (haha, we did have!). Now, we visited Bucharest many times in the past, but I have to say this time we saw it with different eyes, we saw its beauty and we couldn’t get enough of it. What we enjoyed the most is that in front of almost every “famous” building there is a small sign which states the architect, the architectural style and some short story of what personality lived there or what event took place there, and that was really really useful, especially for us architecture students. And also, now that the National Day of Romania is aproaching, we think it’s really important to take a trip to Bucharest, because come on, one has to know its national history, its heritage, and just by walking on the streets of Calea Victoriei or Magheru, you can feel that you are walking the streets of a capital city. Now, we know some have different opinions about Bucharest, but we have a little advice, don’t judge the city by what you hear from others, or from the news, go there and see by yourself how it is, and maybe afterwards, tell us if you agree with us, or not! Either way, Bucharest is absolutely fascinating!
