Bucharest IS a city in transformation, starting to rediscover its lost charm. It is a pity that much of the historical city was leveled to make room mostly for the communist type buildings, including the famous `Parliament Palace`. However, there are many treasures waiting for your discovery: narrow cobbled streets, old churches, buildings that are small architectural gems, remnants of `Little Paris` as Bucharest was called once upon a time. Come and enjoy the good food and friendly people, the tranquility of nature in Herastrau Park, or experience the Romanian countryside in the middle of the city at the Village Museum. Or take a tour around Bucharest with Mogosoaia Palace and meditate at monasteries like Cernica, Caldarusani or Snagov, the latter the supposed burial place for Vlad Tepes, the model role of Dracula.
