Throughout Romanian history there has been a rich and diverse crossing of many cultures and peoples. Empires have risen and passed through this landscape and left behind a people and architecture that blends many different ways of life. From The Romans to the Ottomans to the more recent Soviet influence, Romania has seen its fair share of outside influence. The strategic position of Romania on the Black Sea is the principal reason for this history, as well as its position on the major trade routes over land between Asia and Europe. The region that has come to be known as Romania in the era of the nation state has been an important one geographically for many millennia. You can visit the Black Sea side, a short trip from Bucharest to bask in its beauty and better grasp its importance. The Roman, Ottoman and Soviet influences on architecture that are still present in Bucharest create a fantastic cross-section of beautiful styles.

Whatever type of adventure you are up for, Bucharest travel will most certainly offer a taste of what you hoped for and what you didn’t expect.
