|
|
|
The diverse history and architecture of Romania come alive in this expansive tour of Bucharest
| Attractions and things to do - Best of Bucharest: Parliament Palace, Stavropoleos Church | |
|
Explore the rich history, architectural wonders, and fine cuisine of Romania’s capital city. The Parliament Palace in Bucharest is one of the largest buildings in the world, and stands as a forceful reminder of communist repression in Romania under dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. The Stavropoleos Church is a wonderfully restored fusion of Bzyantine and Romanian architecture, and its lavish interior is sure to hold your attention. Visit the Old Princely Court, where the real-life Dracula cruelly presided over his subjects and imprisoned his adversaries in subterranean chambers. Spend a romantic evening in one of Europe’s most hauntingly beautiful cities.
