Of Course, acquaintance with the capital of Romania should start with the historical part. This land – very old. She was a province of the Roman Empire. However, the city itself appeared only in the late middle ages. This period and date back to the ancient landmarks. "Bucharest” means “city of joy". And it really feels in the old quarter. Narrow streets, framed by pretty houses, small squares and generate the atmosphere of coziness. Strolling through the Old town, understand why before coming to power of Nicolae Ceausescu, Bucharest was called the ‘Paris of the Balkans”. There are many beautiful buildings. Tourists are advised to pay attention to the Cotroceni palaces (1895), Cantacuzino (1900), Royal (1937), the State Bank building (1885). Be sure to get to the University area, Athenaeum, Piazza Repubblica.
Photo of the city also exhibit many beautiful buildings, which continue to perform its original function. Buildings the Architectural Institute and the University are the academic buildings, they engaged students. And the hotel “Many” is still possible to remove the luxurious room. There are in the Old Town and historic bazaars. Special attention deserves the caravanserai called has Hanul lui Manuc. But tourists also claim that you should look at the ‘Who beer” - Karula-ku-Bera, built in 1879, and Curtea Century (the Old Yard). Bucharest is also famous for the Presidential Palace. Arch, of course, inferior to the eponymous Parisian landmarks, but it also “must see” in the capital of Romania. It is dedicated to the courage of the soldiers in the First world war. Inside the arch there is a staircase, which you can climb up to admire the panorama of Bucharest. Lovers of modern history reviews recommended to look at the Revolution Square.
Ceausescu, who razed whole blocks of the ‘Paris of the Balkans”, to build your Palace series of dull five-story building, spared the old Church. And they – the best preserved historical sites. Bucharest boasts a number of interesting temples and sacred structures. The most ancient are the Church of Saint Aaron of the fifteenth century and the monastery of Plumbuita, which, according to the annals, was founded in 1559. Tourists are advised to pay close attention to the churches of Stavropoleos, St. George of Old, Kretzulescu and the Patriarchal Cathedral (1665). Monastery worth a visit Mihai Voda and Antim.
Bucharest lost a huge part of its old quarter that was built this monument of vanity for one family. The Palace was conceived as the largest building in the world. But to the not reached – the Pentagon remainslargest in area. In the Palace, which was named ‘Parliament house" only for effect, as the country single-handedly ruled by the dictator Ceausescu, is about six thousand rooms. The building was constructed in eclectic style with a clear tendency towards gigantism tasteless. Tourists say that the background high-rise buildings of the Soviet construction of the Palace with its marble staircase (which was twice altered to fit the needs of Ceausescu's wife) looks dissonance. The building has twelve floors. They say that eight go deep into the earth. The Palace of the Parliament failed to catch up with the Pentagon in size, but he surpassed him in the construction estimates. This is the most expensive administrative building in the world.
Interested in the life in the Romanian province? To familiarize yourself with it, you don't have to leave the capital of the country. Tourists claim that at the ethnographic Museum under the open sky Cotroceni collected all the Romanian rural attractions. Bucharest also has an Art Gallery that showcases paintings by Monet, El Greco, Rubens, Cezanne, Renoir and Rembrandt. It is located in the building of the Royal Palace (Revolution square). Worthy of a visit and other Metropolitan museums: History (Palais Mail), Geology, Engineering, Biological (Grigore Antipa). At the Revolution square, you must visit the Orthodox Church Kretzulescu. It is well preserved frescoes Tatarescu George – the famous Romanian painter.
Green spaces and gardens – the same sights. Bucharest was and still is the most green city of Eastern Europe. The oldest Park is Cismigui. He was defeated in 1845 under the leadership of the German landscape architect. Park Herastrau surrounds the Ethnographic Museum of the Romanian Village. Relax in a quiet tree-lined avenues in old Cismigiu, Bucharest Parcul-Karol and Botanical garden near Cotroceni. If you have to see the capital of Romania is scheduled for a few days, tourists are advised to take a tour in and around Bucharest. You can visit the ancient monasteries of Snagov (here is the grave of Vlad Tepes, better known as Dracula), Caldarusani, Blueberries, manor Haraszti, the palaces of Mogosoaia and Stirbei.
Bucharest – a strange capital. There is no hustle and specious gloss, which are peculiar to large cities. Everything here as at home, even a little provincial. Passers-by will always stop if a tourist asks the way, and sometimes not only point the way, but will take you to the desired location.
The National pride of local residents is the football team "Steaua" (Bucharest). It was founded in 1947 as a Sports Club of the Romanian Army. But after numerous victories for the team in 1961 has been called “Star" (in Romanian, "Steaua"). This football club became the first in Eastern Europe, won the Champions Cup (1989).
