Nicknamed Little Paris, Bucharest is the energetic and vibrant capital of Romania. Continuing to rebuild itself after the fall of the communist regime in ’89, Bucharest is embracing modernism and evolving at a fast pace. Emerging from its darker times, Bucharest is now dotted with opulent malls, countless shopping centres and a myriad of fashion boutiques. Around its centre, the restoration of several charming baroque houses, history museums and art galleries has been completed. Just like Paris, Bucharest has a terrific café culture, as well as its newest tea craze taking over the city. But don’t just take my word for it, check out the best things to do in Bucharest.
Rising like a Phoenix from its ashes, many bars and clubs are currently undertaking major works after the Colectiv tragedy. The Romanian spirit has always been of unity, solidarity and kindness, and nowhere in Europe the voices of the youth have screamed louder in hope for change.
