So, overall the city is a great place to visit. Plenty to take in from the grand architectiure shown, to the evidence of its communist past as in the first picture below. But its French origins shine through with wide boulevards criss-crossing the city as in the second and last picture I am posting - this road being the one leading back from the Parliament Palace into the city centre.

The end of communist influence and the free western lifestyle that know dominates is most noticeable when visiting the bars and restaurants. Here the age of cleints rarely exceeds about 30, and those beyond that age (present company excepted) in Bucahrest and its suburbs usually display the signs of their austere former communist existence. Not so the young who are very fashion conscious and full of enthusiasm - these are clearly the future of Bucahrest, and it shows.

Catch it if you can, while it still represents good value for money, as, like all things EU, this situation won't last for long!
