Bucharest, Romania: Eclectic and Rejuvenated

[celestindimitriu]

If you thought u loved the architecture then, you should see Bucharest now 5 years later a lot of the older but historical buildings have been renovated and look absolutely stunning just like they did 100y ago

It's nice to see Rick Steves exploring more countries in Eastern Europe! Romania looks like a fun place to explore!

Dude this guy brought me so much nostalgia my parents had old VHS with this man showing Europe.

Visited Romania in April end 2016 and it was a revelation. Its definitely a wonderful destination and this part of Europe definitely needs to be clubbed with the Eastern Europe tours I feel. I also want on the Transylvanian trails and its an absolute delight.

Judging by this clip alone, it´s easy to say that the city has some of Europe´s most beautiful architecture.

Very interesting! Greetings from Bucharest Romania!!

east european cities are by far the most beautiful. I went to Riga twice and now I have a taste for the culture and the architecture. Theres just a charm I can't put my finger on. I'd love to go to Bucharest, Cluj and work my way up to Ukraine and Belarus. Such a beautiful part of the world and sadly overlooked

Fun fact: the building group at 00:24 was originally erected not as a hotel, apartment, or some state institution, but as the personal residence of one very rich man. The colonnades on the top also served as a support for radio-emitting antennas. The block on the left (also hosting a Ferrari showroom at ground level) has been built around 1960, presumably to replace an older block that should have been a mirror copy of the body on the right. The original edifice was probably demolished by some event, be it a major earthquake (1907 or 1940) or a WW2 bombing raid. I consider it a major eyesore because it does not match the general architectural style of the area and ruins the symmetry of what would have been a very nice three-building ensemble.
