Is there anything interesting to see in Bucharest? The city used to be rightly called the little Paris of the East, but is there anything left after several earthquakes, communist construction projects and joining the EU? Let's see everything with our own eyes: from the Palace of the Parliament to Ceausescu's personal villa, from the synagogue to the oldest building in Bucharest, from the Museum of the Romanian Village to the Royal Palace... From the Arc de Triomphe (almost like in Paris) to Orthodox churches. Did you even know that Romania has its own royal dynasty and where did it come from? At one time, the city was built in the Bozar style (yes, it reads strangely, but it is a tracing of the French Beaux Arts). Some things are still under restoration, but there are plenty of amazing examples available - let's go see them too. Of course, we won't do without a story about the overthrow of the dictator. Probably everyone has heard about these events, but this story of the overthrow of Nicolae Ceausescu will be with pictures. Walking map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/2/edi...
