The city gathers numerous attractive and truly valuable monuments, not to speak about its inhabitants' warmth and hospitality.The main boulevards cross over the city from north to south, from the Arch of Triumph to The Civic Center and are intersected with those lying from east to west.On Calea Victoriei, you will find imposing public buildings, such as The National History Museum and, in the south part of this boulevard there is the magnificent Cismigiu Park. Bucharest is surrounded by forests and lakes, of old palaces and monasteries which combine themselves in a picturesque landscape. The Monastery with derrick in Snagov, which dates since 1408, is very valuable for the people who practice nautical sports on Snagov Lake.Also worth seeing is the elegant Mogosoaia Palace, built in the XVIIIth century, at 14 km (9 miles) north of Mogosoaia Lake. But these are only a few things that the magnificent city of Bucharest has to offer. There are so many other beautiful things just waiting to be discovered.

The best way to fully appreciate Bucharest is to spend a full day of in-depth exploring. We stroll on the major boulevards, starting with the huge Civic Center, where we make a stop for a visit of the impressive Parliament Palace, up the Triumph Arch. Here we pay a visit to the open air Village Museum, were we can admire village architecture and crafts from all over Romania. After lunch, that will be served in a pleasant atmosphere, we rejoin our tour and see other perts of the city, ending with the old part of the town, trying to the find the ruins of the Old Court Inn, a former caravansary and reopened as a hotel-restaurant. Here you will end your and we expect that you succeeded to build an image of Bucharest, the Romanian capital. - Civic Center, Parliament Palace, University Square - Victory Road, Triumph Arch, Village Museum, Free Press House - Romanian Television Headquarter, Kogalniceanu Square - Romanian Opera House, Botanical Garden, Cotroceni Palace - Old Court, Manuc’s Inn Bucharest civic center: The "Civic Center" is a portion of Bucharest which was completely rebuilt as part of the scheme of systematization under the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. Bucharest Civic Center includes numerous government offices and apartments, the latter being roughly equal in number to the housing units destroyed for its construction. The apartments were originally intended to house Romania's communist elite, but the completed complex is a rather bland and unappealing neighborhood, certainly not a preferred residence for the city's new capitalist elite, with the possible exception of buildings that look out on the now-bustling Unirea Square, where the Civic Center bisects the Dâmboviţa River, which is channelled underground past the Square. The Parliament Palace: Beginning in 1972, Ceauşescu instituted a program of systematization. Promoted as a way to build a "multilaterally developed socialist society," the program of demolition, resettlement, and construction began in the countryside, but culminated with an attempt to completely remodel the country's capital. Over one fifth of central Bucharest, including churches and historic buildings, was demolished during Ceauşescu's rule in the 1980s, to rebuild the city in a socialist style. Many people died during the erection of The People's House ("Casa Poporului") in Bucharest, now the Parliament House, the world's second largest building after The Pentagon. University square: University Square is the place in central Bucharest where students were shot dead during Romania's 1989 anti-communist revolution. Victory road: Calea Victoriei (Avenue of Victory), on the site of the wood-paved Podul Mogosoaiei, has been Bucharest's most fashionable street since boyars first built their residences along it. The Village Museum Bucharest: The Village Museum, lying in a specific romanian setting, on the Herãstrãu lake shore in Bucharest, is one of the biggest and the oldest outdoors museum in Europe. Bucharest's museums are a destination in themselves, especially the open - air Muzeul Satului (Village Museum) in the Herastrau Park near the Arcul de Triumf.
