Before you travel to Bucharest by plane - good to know!

One thing you really shouldn't miss in Bucharest is the huge building that's now known as Parliament Palace, built during the time of the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu and said to be the world's biggest parliament building. Taking a tour is the best way around, though you're unlikely to see all 3,100 rooms. If you're at all interested in the Romanian revolution of 1989, then a visit to nearby Revolution Square – or Piaţa Revoluţiei in Romanian – is a must. It's a quiet place with a tall memorial in memory of those who died in the process of overthrowing Ceauşescu. These days, the heart of Bucharest and the place to find its funkiest restaurants and bars, is Lipscani, the Old Town. Wherever you go in the city, Bucharest's highly regarded Metro is a convenient mode of transport.
