About Bucharest
Bucharest is chaotic, underrated, and dirt-cheap — communist-era architecture mixed with Belle Époque buildings and modern nightlife. It's not pretty, but it's got energy. The Palace of the Parliament is jaw-dropping, the old town has bars and cafes, and it's a base for Transylvania day trips (Dracula's castle, medieval towns).
- •Palace of the Parliament (world's second-largest building)
- •Old Town (Lipscani) for bars and nightlife
- •Romanian Athenaeum concert hall
- •Day trips to Brașov, Bran Castle (Dracula), or Sinaia
