Bucharest

Along the banks of the meandering Dâmbovița River, beguiling Bucharest bursts at the seams with art, architecture and culture. Beguiling and burgeoning, Romania’s golden capital is also its very nucleus of commerce, trade and finance. Monikered ‘Little Paris’ due to its architectural extravagance and aristocratic flamboyance, this city, besides being a corporate hub, is also popular with art and culture aficionados. One of the largest and the most established in the European Union, the city is dotted with several historic structures and buildings and is a place of interest for architecture enthusiasts. Bucharest is most noted for the Palace of Parliament, which is touted to be one of the largest government buildings from around the world. A breeding ground for performing arts, the city harbors well-known venues like the Odeon Theatre, the State Jewish Theatre and the stately Romanian National Opera, whereas museums like the National Museum of Art of Romania and the National Museum of Romanian History provide elaborate insights into the country’s long-standing historical and cultural heritage; in addition, the Zambaccian Museum and Gheorghe Tattarescu Museum are home to sculptures and artworks by famed Romanian artists. Besides, the city is a venue for several art and culture fests like Chinese New year Festival, George Enescu festival, the Bucharest Biennale and many more.
