Bucharest top attractions

If it happens to visit the Balkans and more specific Romania, it's very probably to pass by Bucharest. The capital is not only the biggest city but it was build really massive and megalomaniac. It's impossible not to see the second biggest building in the world, aka the Parliament. Next to it is the biggest orthodox church on the Balkans. Following the huge boulevards you can visit also the singing fountains, the house of the former communist leader, the open air ethnographic museum and many others. Just explore! #voyagevibes #bucharest #romania #balkantrip
