« So, let's sum up the day: it feels like Bucharest is made up of buildings that were just started and left unfinished, and those that were built so long ago they’re already falling apart. The houses are mainly dark gray, gray, light gray, and white. If it weren't for the sun shining and brightening the whole day, I might have thought I was in Silent Hill. Amazing architecture, but the condition is terrible. Though, I suppose there’s a certain charm in that. Overall, the capital didn’t impress me. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Next stop: Transylvania! 🌄 »
« The capital of Romania might appeal to some, while others may not find it charming. The main thing is that it won't leave you indifferent. In every sense, it's a city of eclecticism. »
« Bucharest really impressed us, especially since we didn't expect much from it 😊 The atmosphere, scale, and beauty are hard to capture in photos! »
« Bucharest is such a multifaceted city, it's hard to label it as "good" or "bad." Whether there's anything worth seeing really depends on personal taste. So, all I can offer you is a snapshot of my experience—come and see for yourself! And yes, there are definitely places here for nightlife and entertainment, so there's that aspect too. 😄 »
« Here's my impression of Bucharest, expressed through "the building" :))) crazy mix, basically. »
« Broadcasting to you from the heart of Romania - Bucharest!! It's beautiful here ) we really like it) stereotypes about vampires and gypsies are debunked. »
