A Walk Around Bucharest

If you want to learn something more about the culture and lifestyle of East Europe, you may consider visiting the capital of Romania. Bucharest is the largest as well as most important industrial and commercial centre of the country. It welcomes its visitors with a great variety of both  modern and historical places. If you have never been in Bucharest before and do not know much about the city, you may need a list of the most interesting places to visit to help you plan your perfect day out in the city.
 

The Palace of Parliament is the most popular and impressive building in Romania. Surrounded by adorable gardens and beautiful water fountains this place is really worthy of being seen. Visitors are usually impressed by the imposing size of the building as it is the largest office building in Europe. Although you can visit the contemporary art museum within the palace, the best place where you can enjoy Romanian art is the National Art Museum (Muzeul National de Arta). Founded in 1948, the museum is a home to the previous royal collection that provides a comprehensive insight of Romanian art from early middle ages to the present day.
 

If art is not your passion and you are more interested in Romanian fashion trends, you should take a walk along Calea Victoriel to explore the many high-class shops and cultural places of interest located on the street. Once you have bought enough clothes and souvenirs, you can continue your walk around the city with visiting one of the city's most popular attractions-  the Arch of Triumph which resembles the one in France. Make sure that you view Bucharest from the the top terrace of the 25-metre high arch. You will be amazed by the beauty of the Romanian capital.

Planning a vacation always includes finding a Bucharest hotel and book it in advance. Although there are a lot of hotels in the city if you want to stay in a luxury hotel you may need to do a research on the good Bucharest hotels.
