If you\u2019re looking for a European weekend getaway and feel like every classic city is either too expensive or hopelessly crowded with tourists, Romania\u2019s capital is sure to surprise you. Bucharest, Romania<\/strong>, is one of Europe\u2019s most underrated capitals, and its remarkable variety\u2014and refreshingly affordable prices\u2014delight visitors. The city blends beautiful Art Nouveau villas, once nicknamed Little Paris<\/strong> for their elegance, with the monumental architecture of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu\u2019s era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This striking architectural and historical contrast is the main reason to visit<\/strong>: the city is still clearly divided between its pre-Communist and Communist-era past. On a single walk, you can admire the delicate beauty of hidden Orthodox monasteries, then find yourself staring in disbelief at the continent\u2019s largest administrative building<\/strong>, built at the cost of entire historic neighborhoods. Direct flights from major European hubs can also be very affordable, making Bucharest an ideal choice for a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this detailed guide, I\u2019ll share 20 things to see and do in Bucharest<\/strong>, so you can make the most of your visit and discover places many tourists miss. I\u2019ll explain how to avoid being misled by the supposed Dracula\u2019s Castle, where to stay for easy sightseeing<\/strong>, and show you that Romania\u2019s capital is also home to one of the largest thermal spa complexes you can visit in Europe today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
