The bustling metropolis and capital of Romania since 1862, Bucharest, earned in the 1900’s a reputation of “The Little Paris of the East”, given its wide, tree-lined boulevards, the glorious Belle-Epoque buildings and the notorious high-life it nested. First time it was mentioned in a document was in 1459, as “Citadel of București”, by Vlad the Impaler, the one who inspired the Dracula miths.

 

In Bucharest, World Synergy Travel can organize:

The most striking landmarks of Bucharest are:

 

· The Palace of the Parliament

 

Completed by the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and named by him The People’s House, The Palace of the Parliament is the largest administrative building for civilian use in the world, and also the heaviest building in the world, featuring 12 stories and 1,100 rooms aside from its nuclear bunker.

 

 

Constructed almost entirely of materials of Romanian origin, the palace displays the true wealth of Romania: stone, marble and wood from the Romanian mountains and forests. The interior visit organized in a variety of languages allows you to discover its opulence given by the 3,500 tonnes of crystal in the 480 chandeliers, 1,409 ceiling lights and mirrors locally manufactured, among others.

 

Apart from housing Romania's Chamber of Deputies, The Palace also contains a massive array of miscellaneous conference halls, salons, etc., used for a wide variety of other purposes.

 

· The Romanian Athenaeum

 

The astonishingly beautiful Romanian Athenaeum, both on the inside and on the outside, is one of the symbols of the belle-epoque architecture of Bucharest. Gracefully displaying a history fresque on the ceiling, and breathtaking paintings on the walls, the auditorium has an impressively good acoustique, one of the best in Eastern Europe. Hosting sell-out concerts every week, this is a must go cultural attraction of Eastern Europe.

 

 

Transylvania is home to some of Europe’s best-preserved medieval towns, and boasts a multi-ethnic heritage (including German and Hungarian ) that is delightfully apparent in the folk costumes, architecture, cuisine, music and festivals. In addition to this, the welcoming spirit of the locals, almost always wearing a warm smile on their face, will provide for you long lasting memories of a fairytale-like vacation.
