1. Curtea Veche (Ancient Court). A well preserved site of historical building from the 18th century, in the very heart of Bucharest.

2.Strada Lipscani (Lipscani Street. Lipscanii are the ancient traders, most of them Jewish, which brought their wares from Lipscani, which is the Romanian equivalent for Leipzig. An atmosphere of the second decade of the 20th century. Most of the boutiques are still functional.

3.Casa Poporului. A huge building, the second large world around behind Pentagon! A huge square in the front, an architecture emerging from North Korea or Moscow. Simply overwhelming, indeed. There are many pros and contras opinions about this house, and I want to know yours.Image:Palace of Parliament.jpg

4.Piata palatului. Here began the revolution from 1989, and from the Palace(=Palat) tried Ceausescu to escape with an helicopter. There still are bullet traces in the neighboring buildings.

5. The Art Museum. A must for the connaiseurs . And if you really like art, you can find a lot of other museums in Bucharest, or you can take part to the auctions, or you can search for bargains in the many antiquities shops.
