Bucharest (Bucuresti)

Bucharest… an old, dusty and historic city. It is the capital of Romania. Whoever arrives here, for the first time, could feel its mystery.

Firstly, one will notice its grey color (that is because of the houses most of them painted in grey)… but once he has the courage to take one more step, another world seems to reveal in front of his eyes – a place of friendship, music, light and magic.

The entire city is old – lots of the houses, one can admire, are real “heroes” which survived the earthquakes and storms. From place to place imposing new buildings come to life each year.

As one may see in every capital, crowded streets and noise are not shy to show up. In this case, there is always a spot one can run off all these: the parks –true oases of peace and beauty.

Words are not enough to describe the exact feelings one has when actually visiting Bucharest.
