Скачать или смотреть Covid19: Bucharest (August 2020)

Bucharest is one of the most underrated European capitals. Nicknamed Paris of the East or Little Paris the city has elegant architecture and a Gallic feel especially when you walk along Victory Avenue (Calea Victoriei).

When visiitng the city, don’t miss the Parliament - the construction of the building was ordered by the infamous Nicolie Ceaușescu. The city even has an Arcul de Triumpf which looks almost like the one in Paris!

Despite travelling to Bucharest during the Covid-19 pandemic, the city felt very safe and organised (except at airport!). All cafes, restaurants and shopping malls I visited ensured strong safety measures were in place. I really enjoyed walking through Bulevardul Unirii (Union Boulevard) from the Palace of Parliament to the Unification Square. Be sure to try the national dish - sarmale, delicious!
