The capital since 1862, Bucharest is a vibrant city that remembers its past while embracing the new and contains a mixture of neo-classical, communist and modern architecture. The highlight for many travellers arriving on flights to Bucharest is attending one or more of the festivals which take place in the city each year showcasing the city’s plethora of artistic and musical talent. It is famous for its house music, with clubs scattered throughout the neighbourhoods of the city blasting bass into the early hours of the morning. These plus the universities inject a youthful vibe into this age-old city.
