"A Chaotic Capital..." Bucharest by Jetgirly

Bucharest Travel Guide: 1,607 reviews and 4,216 photos

...A Romanian Metropolis

It seemed a bit silly to visit Romania and not spend some time in Bucharest, so after seven weeks on the road I found myself in this notorious European capital, seeped in not-so-awesome recent history. In all honesty Bucharest is just your average big city: there are restaurants, museums, parks, shopping centers, historical monuments... really, there's anything a visitor might be looking for. It definitely lacks the charm of Transylvania and the spirit of Maramures, but it's not necessarily a bad choice for those seeking an affordable European citybreak. Read on...

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:There's a good balance of things to keep you busy.
  • Cons:Nothing is very surprising.
  • In a nutshell:I'm not sad I visited.

    So I am looking forward to seeing your pages about Romania. You obviously also stayed in the High Class Hostel in Suceava, didn't you?
