DAY I

MONUMENTS

Parliament Palace - It's the world's second largest building (after the US Pentagon). The building was built in 1984 by Nicolae Ceauşescu. 1/9 of Bucharest was reconstructed to accommodate this magnificent massive building and its surroundings. There are 30-45 minute tours every half hour which lead through the building's vast collection of marble rooms and culminates in an impressive view from Nicolae Ceauşescu's balcony. The marble and all the original decorations are 100% from Romania. The basic tour includes the halls and the balcony, worthwhile is the terrace addition for the wonderful view from the top of the building.

Old center - This area today contains an assortment of middle 19th century buildings, ruins of the Wallachian princes' medieval court, churches, bank headquarters, a few hotels, clubs, restaurants and shops.

Revolution Square - Site of part of the Romanian Revolution of 1989. Centrally located, it is not a long walk from the other squares, Gara de Nord, or the Parliament Palace. There is a tall monument in the center of the square in memory of those who died during the revolution.

The Arch of Triumph (Arcul de Triumf). - Situated in the norhern part of the city, close to Herăstrău Park. The current arch was inagurated in 1936, but on the same site other arches stood starting with 1878.

Romanian Atheneum - A beautiful building situated near Revolution Square (Piaţa Revoluţiei) is home of the George Enescu Philarmonic. If you have the time, visit the interior of the building as well, as it holds a fresco that depicts scenes of the Romanian history. The building was inagurated in 1888.

FOOD

2) Romanian cuisine is a diverse blend of different dishes from several traditions with which it has come into contact, but it also maintains its own character. Gastronomy of Romania has been greatly influenced by the Ottoman cuisine, but also includes influences from the cuisines of other neighbors, such as the Germans, Serbians and Hungarians. There are also traces of French, Viennese, and other Western European cuisines in Romanian cuisine.

The metro, which has four lines and covers the city quite extensively, is usually a cheap and easy way to get around
