A Bucharest rental apartment, once nowhere on the radar of the international set, is now a desirable thing indeed. While you may not mistake any of its streets for the Champs Elysees, Bucharest, once known as the Paris of the East, is now doing just fine, thank you. In fact, it’s in the midst of an economic and cultural renaissance. More tourists have visited Romania’s capital in the past five years than in the 25 years before that.

Romania’s historic capital and largest city is one of the jewels of Eastern Europe. Long kept a secret from the rest of the world during the years of communism and the Ceausescu dictatorship, this world-class city (population approx. 2 million and growing) is now more than ready to reveal its charms to anyone curious enough to come and check it out. You no longer need to be an intrepid, damn-the-risks traveler or super-budget-conscious backpacker. This is now a destination for the mainstream, part of the European circuit at long last. And happily, Bucharest rent is more than reasonable.

And not only can you absorb yourself in Bucharest itself, but a rental Bucharest apartment, at affordable Bucharest rent, will enable you to use the city as a jumping-off point for the many places of interest in the nearby countryside.
