Bucharest (Bucureşti) is Romanian capital seatled in the South of country. It‘s a city of contrasts, you see incredible wealth one minute and the next minute a beggar on the corner. Romania is famous for it‘s natural resources and fancy cultural heritage, so capital attracts with the Palace of Parlament, buildings and museums decorated with white marble and granite. But everything what you see is just the tailings from Bucharest‘s thesaurus in XIX century. The town's elegance and pulchritude was deteriorated under the harsh era of communism. Today next to the churches in Romanian architectural style, facinating parks, Arc de Triomphe, stands unsightly Stalinist apartment blocks and incomplete constructions. It‘s a nice experiece to walk through the Bucharest old town squares and feel the history trace. Because of it‘s tree-lined boulevards, magnificent Belle Epoque buildings and a reputation for the high life Bucharest had a Little Paris nicname.

Bucharest doesn‘t sleep at night. Clubbers and gamblers will find something for them, there

are many new nightclubs and casinos opening space.

If you would like to purchase go to Calea Victoriei and Bulevardul Generel Mahgeru, or on small Strada Ion Campineanu, off Valea Victoriei district. The popular souveniers are the Romanian wine from wineries in Transylvania, Moldavia and the Black Sea Coast, kitsch with Dracula name.
