Little Paris of the East - Bucharest Tour

A capital generally boasts a bustling atmosphere, in terms of its economy, culture and night-life, and Bucharest makes no exception. Whatever one may find in Romania will most likely be met in Bucharest. It is the place where most artists, students, money and fame make their way. Besides all that, Bucharest remains a place with lots of shaded alleys, grand mansions, quiet parks, with so much to show, from its old-Wallachian beginnings in the 15th century, as the citadel of Bucur the Shepherd on a ford of River Dambovita, through its golden inter-war period as Little Paris of the East, up to Communist times, with its megalomaniac buildings and avenues, culminating with the Palace of Parliament, world's second largest edifice. Through all this and more, Bucharest represents so much more than simply a place for business tourism, yet a hidden gem to unveil to many.
