What do tourists who are going to visit Bucharest imagine? Cultural and historical center or vibrant metropolis? It can definitely be said that the capital of Romania is a mixed city. You can understand Bucharest only after spending a few days in it, or better, weeks. The first impression will not tell you anything about this amazing and mysterious city,
love at first sight with Bucharest will not happen. However, this is for the best: wandering along busy highways and streets, visiting the most outstanding sights, going to a cafe with national cuisine, meeting local residents - getting to know the city will bring you so much pleasure!
Bucharest is a special capital. Romania has chosen a city as its international representative, in which there is no clear structure, the correct forms of streets, and space savings. In Bucharest, you can easily find ancient architectural structures adjacent to modern buildings, cozy houses next to luxurious and elaborate buildings in
the Rococo style.Having glanced at Bucharest, you might think that this is not a city, but sheer chaos, a misunderstanding, a mess. However, the first impression here is misleading, such it is the capital of Romania: the thoughtless piling up of buildings and architectural monuments conceals the elusive, touching charm of a large center.
Around the name of the capital there are many legends. So, one of them says that Bucharest was founded in the 14th century by the shepherd Bucur, who built a church around which a village was formed, which later became a famous metropolis. Translated from the Romanian language, Bucharest means "city of joy." It is fully consistent with its name, because here you will meet so many hospitable people, smiles and joyful faces that you will not find anywhere else.
Among the attractions that the capital of Romania is famous for, you can see palaces (justice, royal, presidential, Batanui), an art museum, the oldest building of the National Bank, churches and monasteries (Patriarchal Church, Reformed Church, Antimo Monastery) and, of course, the famous Arc de Triomphe .
Bucharest is also called the "theater capital". The theater here is a lifestyle, a creed. A variety of street and classical theaters, roving actors - all this is in the capital of Romania.
To understand the life and atmosphere of the Romanian capital, you need to visit it and feel Bucharest yourself.
