About Bucharest
Bucharest is the capital and largest city of Romania — a sprawling, vibrant and contradictory metropolis of 2.1 million people whose chaotic energy, extraordinary architecture and rapidly evolving cultural scene have made it one of the most surprising and rewarding capitals in Eastern Europe. The city's built landscape is defined by two radical interventions: the elegant Belle Époque and Art Deco boulevards and mansions of the early 20th century, which earned Bucharest the title 'Little Paris of the East', and the megalomaniac Socialist realism imposed by Nicolae Ceaușescu, most dramatically embodied in the Palace of the Parliament — the second largest administrative building in the world by floor area, built at staggering human and financial cost in the 1980s.
The Palace of the Parliament (Casa Poporului) — 12 storeys, 1,100 rooms, 3.7km of corridors, marble, crystal and velvet in almost incomprehensible quantities — is now open for guided tours and is the defining monument of Ceaușescu's Bucharest, simultaneously repellent and awe-inspiring in its excess. The historic centre (Centrul Vechi) around the Lipscani district has been comprehensively revived as a pedestrianised zone of bars, restaurants, galleries and boutiques in largely 19th-century buildings — the most animated nightlife district in southeastern Europe. The Romanian Athenaeum (Ateneul Român) — a magnificent neoclassical concert hall of 1888 with a dome decorated with a fresco panorama of Romanian history — is the cultural heart of the city and home to the George Enescu Philharmonic.
