Romania is a beautiful country and no place compares to their capital Romania, or otherwise called \u201cLittle Paris\u201d as it is not too unsimilar to the romantic French capital. Often overlooked as Romania is not a huge tourist destination but attracting more and more each year with people wanting to see more of the world than just hotels and resorts, Bucharest is an up and coming must-see city so beat the crowds and visit the country while it\u2019s still affordable.<\/p>\n

1. Bars and Restaurants<\/h2>\n

If you go into the old town of Bucharest, you will find streets upon streets of all different bars and restaurants that are open from early lunch time until well into the wee hours of the night. Ranging from traditional Romanian food to Chinese, Italian, and American all on the one menu, these restaurants know how to please all their customers and the prices are even better. Two steak dinners, two desserts, and a bottle of wine averaging at around \u00a320 all in! It can be hard to pick one to go into but the friendly staff outside the doors will try to persuade you to come into their restaurant.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Night Life<\/h2>\n

If a quite holiday is what you\u2019re after then don\u2019t be mistaken, the people of Bucharest like to party, and they party hard. In most countries, the old town is a quaint and quiet section of the city but not in Bucharest, that is the party central with clubs being open right up until 6am every night of the week. Drinks are dirt cheap but it\u2019s the entry cost that may catch you out, not that you will feel the need to hop between clubs throughout the night as they are all so much fun, you couldn\u2019t possibly pick a favourite.<\/p>\n

3. Architecture<\/h2>\n

The architecture of Bucharest is like no other in the world, with a mix of old communist buildings and newer modern builds it really does make for a beautifully interesting mix of history unlike anything I have ever seen before. Before visiting Bucharest, it\u2019s worth reading up on the city\u2019s history to fully appreciate the city and its architecture.<\/p>\n

4. Countryside Scenery<\/h2>\n

If you are fortunate enough to spend a bit of time in Romania, obviously visit the country\u2019s capital but also make sure that you can see some of the beautiful countryside. Try to visit some sights and see Dracula\u2019s castle or Brasov, around an hour and a half\u2019s drive away from Bucharest, to see some more of the countryside on the way.<\/p>\n

\n

5. Shopping<\/h2>\n

Bucharest is also a great place if you\u2019re looking for a shopping trip with a large shopping centre just five minutes from the old town and cute local markets that are held each day just outside of the shopping centre. There are also a lot of great shops further along the city centre that you wouldn\u2019t find in the UK, not to mention a tonne of great restaurants and bars to stop for refreshments.<\/p>\n

6. Culture<\/h2>\n

A great way to soak in a little extra culture when staying in any foreign country is to stay in an Airbnb or local apartment of some kind. By staying where the locals would stay rather than in a hotel you get to see a little extra that you maybe wouldn\u2019t have seen otherwise. This can lead to finding some amazing cafes or shops popular among the locals that you wouldn\u2019t have found if you weren\u2019t staying there.<\/p>\n
