Situated on the boundary between East and West Europe, Bucharest combines its graceful French architecture, which once earned the city the nickname "Little Paris", with the modern development of a city striving to catch up with its western neighbours. Although evidence can still be seen in parts, this evolving city has managed to distance itself from its recent communist past and offers a lively variety of culture and entertainment.

If architecture interests you, head to the old district where you will find the vast Parliament Palace and Romanian Athenaeum. Alternatively, while away a couple of hours in the Art and Natural History museum, visit the Biserica Stayropoles or just relax in one of the many clusters of bars and restaurants which provide the perfect way to end the day. If you want to indulge in more cultural pursuits this thriving city attracts major international acts in theatre, opera and music.
