Eastern Europe can offer a lot to tourists. It has a magnetism of its own. Bucharest is the capital of Romania. You must have heard of the notorious Count Dracula, yes, Romania is his home land. Nowadays, Bucharest becomes more and more appealing to travelers. Have a look into Bucharest's landmarks.
Bucharest is an architectural master piece. It looks a bit oriental a first with the coloured houses and miscellaneous funny sheet iron roofs. But when one gets downtown, the stylish western European buildings can really take you by surprise.
When you plan a trip to Bucharest it is smart to book a hotel in advance. There are countless Bucharest hotels. You would probably need one near the centre. Public transport is really convenient. You would get around with no problems.
There is a diversity of sites of interest. It has different architectural styles, which makes its overall scene really unique. The place that deserve most of your attention is the Parliament or as it is also known - the Ceaușescu's Palace. It stands as the second largest building in the world, after the Pentagon in the US and the largest in Europe. When you enter, you might get lost. The lavishly decorated rooms can be a real labyrinth so make sure you follow the guide. Or at least, have a map.
This enormous building was constructed during the reign of Nikolae Ceaușescu. He is known for his megalomania – to make the Romanian capital comparable to the Western European capitals. After spending millions on the construction of the palace, he went even further. He craved for a splendid view over an avenue of fountains. Then many residential buildings were demolished to clear the space needed for today's central area.
