About Bucharest
Bucharest's nickname—'Paris of the East'—speaks to its Austro-Hungarian elegance, though Soviet brutalism and modern commerce have overwritten much. The Palace of Parliament is the world's second-largest building, a monument to Ceaușescu's megalomania and now a museum of Communist excess. The Old Town (Lipscani) retains some Belle Époque charm, while museums document the city's complex history spanning Roman, Ottoman, and Cold War chapters.
