      Bucharest City Guide - My Ebook Publishing House

      I. A City of Boulevards and Parks

      The capital of Romania, the cultural and economical center of the entire country, was established more than five hundred years ago and it is the most suitable starting point for a tour of Romania. In the years thirty, Bucharest was surnamed Small Paris because of its boulevards guarded by trees.

      Here even a Triumph Arch is found, on the impressive Kisseleff driveway which is longer than Champs Elyse and on which, during spring, you can admire the splendor of the blooming trees. Despite the extended plan of reconstruction from the eighties, Bucharest remains a city of parks, pleasant, full of grass, with coffee-shops open on the sidewalks during the summer and pleasure boats on the lakes and rivers that cross it.

      Exploring the City

      It is easy to get around in Bucharest. The subway network extends on the whole surface of the town, and the price for a trip is unique. The main boulevards cross the town on the direction north-south, from the Triumph Arch until the Civic Center, and are intersected by others that spread from east to west. The victory Path, which is found in the following of the Kisseleff driveway, is the favorite place by the inhabitants of the capital city for walks in the summer evenings.

      Here you will find imposing public buildings, such as The National History Museum and the Post Palace, and toward the southern end of this boulevard lays the Cismigiu Garden. The Magheru Boulevard is parallel with Victory Path, and on it are found tourism agencies and airway company agencies, cinemas and hotels.

      An Eclectic Combination of Stiles

      You will probably be surprised by the eclectic mix of architectural styles from Bucharest starting from The Old Court, the remaining of the palace from the fifteenth century of Vlad Tepes- the one that founded the city and, at the same time, the inspiration source for the character Dracula-, to orthodox churches, at mansions in the Second Empire style, at the heavy Stalinist architecture from the communist period and finishing with the Palace of Parliament, a colossal building with six thousand rooms, the second as size in the world after The Pentagon. In Bucharest, there are always especially interesting things which are waiting to be discovered.

      What Is Worth Visiting

      It is worth visiting Bucharest, if only for its museums, especially the Village Museum outdoor that is found in The Herastrau Park, along The Triumph Arch. Here you will see examples of the popular architecture and handicrafts from the entire Romania, including the famous wooden small churches from Maramures. Other mandatory objectives are The National Museum of Art, which is found in the building of the ex Royal Palace, The National History Museum from the Victory Path, which accommodates the gorgeous silverware of the national treasure, and The Old Court, with its painted little church from the sixteenth century.

      Close by lies the splendid Patriarchal Church, built in 1657, which now represents a contrasting note up against the modernity of the entire Civic Center. And do not miss the Stavropoleos church next the Old Court, a true jewelry of the Romanian orthodox architecture. If you are lucky to be standing in one of these churches during a baptism or a wedding, you will assist to a ceremony that you will never forget.

      The Bohemian Life In Bucharest

      The artistic life of the city was always at the height of its Parisian nickname, and today it is more active than ever. The national opera always keeps a classic repertoire- Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, and Mozart.

      In the splendid
