Bucharest City Tour

thA city of paradoxes and contrasts, Bucharest is the miraculous result of ecclesiastic arhitecture. From Curtea Veche - the ruins of ancient palace built by Vlad Tepes in the 15th century - to the Orthodox churches and the Parliament Palace, built in the communist era and the second biggest building in the world after Pentagon, Bucharest exhibits its more than half a millennium old story, each century leaving its mark in a distinct and original way. In the 30s, boulevards bordered by trees and the 'fin de siecle' arhitecture won this city the name of little Paris. The resemblance is a true as anywhere here on Kisseleff Street - a bit longer than the Champs Elysee - where the visitor can see a faithful copy of the Arch of Triumph from the French capital.
