Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

.. it is filled with famous people. It is a big cemetery & nicely maintained. I think you need a map to find people. I managed to use my memory and great navigation skills and remembered where my uncle was buried. It was quite an adventure. Cemeteries are very important for Romanians!

This is the memorial house of the Romanian famous poet Tudor Arghezi (real name Ion Teodorescu). It was built based on his own plans between the first and the second WW and he lived in for 40 years. The house is full of his personal objects and is definetely worth a visit.

The Filaret Hill is located near the Carol I park in Bucharest. At the beginning of the last century they started here to build a lot of villas. The streets that are up here are Aleea Suter and the only stairs street of the city: Strada Xenophon.
