The city boasts a rich historical heritage. But the sights of Bucharest are varied and diverse. Description of attractions
Bucharest begins with the historical part of the city - the oldest and most beautiful. Although it is also full of contrasts.
The first thing every tourist is recommended to see is the Palace of Parliament, which was built under Ceausescu. The giant marble structure in eclectic style was built on the site of a specially demolished historical part. But the Palace has gone down in history as the second largest government building in the world, after the Pentagon.
A map with Bucharest sights will definitely lead tourists to the Arc de Triomphe, which was erected in honor of Romanian soldiers in 1920. Inside the arch, there is a staircase that can be used to climb to the top and view the panorama of the city.
Tourists often take photos of Bucharest sights in Revolution Square, where the communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was executed together with his wife. But the square is famous not only for this historical fact. The scheme of Bucharest with sights will show you the way to the Royal Palace, which houses the Romanian National Museum of Art. There is also the orthodox church of Cretulescu, as well as a building built by a French architect in 1914, which houses the Ateneo Hotel.
When you get your hands on a map of Bucharest sights with names, you'll realize that the tour won't just be about historical buildings. Bucharest is a city of gardens and parks. The most beautiful of them is considered to be the "Cismigui" garden, which was designed back in 1845 by a German landscape architect. No less beautiful is the Gerastrau Park, where various entertainments for tourists are organized - from boat rides to noisy fairs. There is also the Village Museum, which presents the traditional life of Romanians.
Another part of Bucharest's attractions in Russian is the huge number of different museums. In addition to the Village Museum, it is worth a look at the Romanian Museum of Art, which presents the works of European and Romanian masters. More noteworthy institutions are the National History Museum, the Museum of Technology, the National Museum of Cotroceni, the Museum of Natural History "Grigore Antippa", the Geological Museum and others.
