Tourist Attractions in Bucharest

The Romanian capital is a bizarre mix of unique Wallachian architecture, the best museums of Southeastern Europe and pompous projects from the era of communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu. Bucharest was once home to the legendary and macabre Vlad Tepes, whose personality served as a prototype for the bloody Count Dracula. The city is full of mysteries, interesting discoveries and unexpected finds.

Much of the historical heritage of Bucharest has been irretrievably lost, as in the XX century whole neighbourhoods were demolished, old buildings, churches and streets. But much has been preserved – picturesque palaces, the old quarter of Lipscani, the remains of the medieval fortress of the Wallachian princes. Nowadays Bucharest has been revived. More and more tourists walk along the streets, architectural monuments are gradually restored and infrastructure is developing.
