Brilliant Bucharest

Bucharest is the capital of Romania and has many iconic land marks, particularly the Palace of Parliament, which is the heaviest building in the world weighing in at over 4,000,000 tonnes and it’s the third largest administrative building in the world! Incredible. There are many other interesting sites too including the Stavropoleos Church and 15th-century Curtea Veche Palace where Vlad the Impaler once ruled from. Bucharest is served by two airports both of which have frequent public transport services to Bucharest city Centre. #getgoing2025 #bucharest #romania
