🌍 About Bucharest

Bucharest's headline act is the Palace of the Parliament — the heaviest building on earth at over 4 million tonnes, Ceaușescu's megalomaniac last project, built by levelling a whole historic district. Tour the inside; the scale is the point. The real eating is mici (also called mititei): skinless grilled minced-meat sausages, ordered by the piece with mustard and a beer, best from a no-frills grill in or near Lipscani, the old town. Pair with sarmale (cabbage rolls) if you want a sit-down meal. The city is cheap by EU-capital standards, so a deal fare goes a long way once you land. Come May–June or September: mild 15–25°C and walkable.
