What to expect from Bucharest
Explains the Vague World Travel Blog that visiting Bucharest is entering a space that combines modernity and historical memory. The city is experiencing a process of constant renewal, without losing the marks of the past. Among the most emblematic places is the Parliament Palace, one of the largest buildings in the world, built during the Nicolae Ceausescu regime, after the demolition of an entire neighborhood.
According to the same source, this monument stands out for gigantism and opulence, with chandeliers, marbles and tapestries, but also for the structural impact: due to weight, the building sinks a few millimeters per year.
Historical Center and Recent Memory
According to the North Historic Center, it concentrates some of the city’s oldest and most emblematic buildings, such as the Curtea Veche Palace, the former residence of Vlad Tepes, and the National Museum of History of Roménia, installed in the former Post Office Palace. The Palatul CEC, with its glazed summit, is another of the architectural highlights.
It also writes the blog that, north of the Revolution Square, is the Romanian Athenaeus, a neoclassical -style concert room that impresses both the circular outside and the wealth of the interior. Already the University Square was the scene of the events of 1989 that led to the fall of the communist regime, remaining today as a central point of the city.
