Between wars, earthquakes and the atrocious years of Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu\u2019s dictatorship, the wonders of this place are due solely to the strength of the country and its ability to be reborn.<\/p>\n<p>The first architectural transformations began in the 19th century, with the aim of making the city resemble other European capitals. The architects entrusted with the works were partly French and partly Romanian, and the city\u2019s new appearance became very similar to the French capital, which is why many call it \u201cLittle Paris\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Walking along the tree-lined avenues, reminiscent of French <em>boulevards<\/em>, you will find many references to Parisian style, even in the names, such as Charles de Gaulle Square. An explicit reference to <strong>Paris<\/strong> is the Arch of Triumph, erected in 1878 to celebrate Romania\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p>An ideal destination for a weekend but also for a longer holiday, below you will find a selection of the <strong>10 things to do and see in Bucharest<\/strong>.

Its construction, however, was not the expression of a wealthy city, but of the personality cult of its dictator, Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu.<\/p>\n<p>Work began in 1984, during a period when Bucharest was experiencing economic hardship and, in order to satisfy his desire for ostentation, the tyrant drove the people into poverty.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Ceau\u0219escu<\/em> found the necessary space by razing entire districts on Uranus Hill to the ground, forcing families to move into buildings provided by the communist regime. The architect <em>Anca Petrescu<\/em> was chosen because her project was the largest, and to build it Ceau\u0219escu demanded that only Romanian materials be used.<\/p>\n<p>The fall of the government in 1989 prevented the completion of the works and, to this day, only 60% of the original project has been completed. After his death, there was talk of demolishing the entire palace, but the Romanian people responded differently: <strong>they changed its name from House of the Republic to House of the People<\/strong> and wanted to preserve it as a symbol of the dictator\u2019s defeat, forced to flee from the very palace he had so strongly desired.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Parliament of Bucharest<\/strong>, with its 1,000 rooms, ranks first in the Guinness World Records as the largest administrative building for civilian use, second in the world by surface area only to the Pentagon in the United States, and among the heaviest and most expensive buildings in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An organised tour lasting about an hour and a half<\/strong> will take you through the palace rooms, where even the objects flaunt wealth, such as <strong>the carpet in the main hall, which weighs an impressive 14 tonnes<\/strong>! It is worth stepping out onto the terrace, which reveals the modern side of Bucharest.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours and ticket price:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Address<\/strong>: Strada Izvor 2-4;<br \/>\n<strong>Opening hours<\/strong>: open every day from March to October from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with the last tour departing at 4:30 pm;

Important artists from Romanian and foreign aristocratic circles performed there, including the greatest Romanian musician, George Enescu, who became a regular guest of the house and, after Mihail\u2019s death, was finally able to declare his love for Maruca.<\/p>\n<p>After Enescu\u2019s death, his wife founded the \u201cGeorge Enescu\u201d Museum. Since 2007, the palace has been included on the list of <strong>European Heritage monuments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the palace you will find the <strong>&#8220;George Enescu&#8221; Memorial House<\/strong>, an austere home that preserves important evidence of the fascinating life of the violinist, composer, pianist and conductor who, after travelling the world, died in Paris.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours and ticket price for Cantacuzino Palace:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Address<\/strong>: Calea Victoriei, no. 141;<br \/>\n<strong>Opening hours<\/strong>: closed on Mondays.

Rebhun.<\/p>\n<p>Her\u0103str\u0103u Park is easy to reach in the <strong>northern area of Bucharest and is worth dedicating an entire day to<\/strong>, both to relax and to visit the monuments within it and enjoy the various attractions for adults and children.<\/p>\n\n<p>The park is divided into two areas: a cultural area with the <strong>Village Museum<\/strong>, two <strong>theatres, one of which is open-air, libraries and two exhibition pavilions<\/strong>; and another area where you can enjoy numerous outdoor activities thanks to <strong>fitness areas, cycle paths<\/strong>, a golf course, a children\u2019s playground and walking trails.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel like cycling, you can rent a bike at the entrance for a very low price and ride around the park, quickly reaching the various attractions. Walking among poplars, oaks, maples, willows and cherry trees, let yourself be enchanted by the <strong>romantic Japanese garden<\/strong>, which the Japanese Embassy itself helped create in 1998. There is no shortage of restaurants and hotels nearby.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours and ticket price for Her\u0103str\u0103u Park<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Address<\/strong>: Sector 1;<br \/>\n<strong>Opening hours<\/strong>: open 24 hours a day;<br \/>\n<strong>Ticket price<\/strong>: free.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_52  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:juicy_pink;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text]<div class='code-block code-block-8' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Box 1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6828920278\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_53\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_54  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_54,\r\n                .tdi_54 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_54,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_54 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_54 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_54:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_54:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_56  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_56{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_56 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_56 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_56 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_56 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_56 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Romanian Athenaeum&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1558981609171{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"dropcap\" style=\"background-color: #dd3333;\">9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Events are one of the many ways to get to know a people, and attending <strong>a concert at the Romanian Athenaeum<\/strong>, one of the symbols of the country\u2019s culture, will leave you with a memory that you will forever associate with the city of Bucharest.
