Bucharest

Two thousand years ago, what is now Romanian territory belonged to the Dacions; a population of Thracian origin. Dacia was a rich country with a hard-working nation, and under the power of King Burebista the state threatened even the Romans. For many centuries since then, Romanians lived in 3 separate properties - Valachia in the south, Moldavia in the east, and Transylvania in the centre and northwest.

With Turkish and Ottoman influences, and invasions by the Turks, Tartars, and the Poles, Romania was formed as recently as 1859. Struggling the enter the free-market system, with ethnic groups such as the Magyars, Germans, Jews, Armenians, Turks, Tartars, Serbians, Romanies, and naturally the native Romanians – the diverse melting pot of cultures, traditions, and a carousel of customs and dialects gives this city it’s charm.

Art galleries, pulsating nightclubs, casinos, elegant traditional churches, communist grandeur, and modern skyscrapers – all these blend in an almost mosaic fashion. Bucharest boasts the second largest building in the world, which is the Parliament Palace. If it’s castles you hunger for, then Bucharest does not disappoint. Palaces, too, are abound from a rich and turbulent past. Situated close to the Bulgarian border, Bucharest is a city to be explored, loved, and appreciated.

Welcome to Bucharest…the spirit of Eastern Europe; where tradition and customs go hand in hand.
