Editor: Priyanka Saxena on Feb 12,2020

Bucharest dubbed “the little Paris” for its Beaux-Arts-style museums, buildings & churches gives ardent travelers every reason to plan a vacation here. With a huge number of Romania vacation packages that are specifically designed for a Bucharest exploration, it’s quite difficult to decide what to consider. And, this 8-days travel spree through the capital city of Bucharest is amazing. It takes you through the most admired parts of the city helping you with the story lying behind. 

Bucharest has seen a turbulent past ~ be it the natural disasters like earthquakes or human-created disasters like war, the city had always been under the state of flux. Today, the city is witnessing a construction boom with high-rise towers making their way everywhere. It looks all decked up with modish glass facades and this is all multiplying magically every year. In addition to that, there are surprises waiting for you everywhere - hiding behind the communist apartment blocks, you will find fresco-coated churches. Unlike many other Romania vacation packages, this 3-days exploration will take you through every hidden nook & cranny of the city.
