The city was first mentioned in 1459, in a document from the court of Voivode Vlad Ţepeş, the prince who is said to have defeated the famous protagonist Dracula.

The Palace of Parliament
Famous for its impressive size, the Palace of the Parliament is one of the most interesting buildings to visit when you arrive in Bucharest. This grandiose structure is characterized by a particular architectural mixture that brings together the Brâncoveanu style and the influences of the Renaissance, Germanic and Baroque styles. Also known as the House of the People, the building impresses with the opulence of over 1000 rooms. From the solid wood furniture and sculpted doors to marble columns, crystal chandeliers, silk curtains to huge rugs, this tourist attraction represents a universe of luxury and extravagance, and is definitely worth spending a few hours.
Historical center
Surely the historic center is one of the most popular and chic areas in Bucharest, a place full of neoclassical and neo-baroque buildings, on the ground floor of which you will find many enticing terraces, cafes, restaurants and shops. Walking through the winding and very crowded streets of the historic center gives you the impression that you have traveled back in time and are in the Bucharest of bygone times.

Cismigiu Park
The oldest park in Bucharest, located in the heart of the city, Cismigui park is a 17-hectares large green haven, also making it the largest park in the city.
The Arch of Triumph
The Arch of Triumph, built between 1921 and 1922 following the project of the architect Petre Antonescu, is a symbol of Romania’s victory in the First World War. The edifice also symbolically links Bucharest to the old Rome – the civilization that imposed the Arch of Triumph as a symbol of victory.
The Arch of Triumph means more than the victory in the First World War, is considered as the sign of the unity of all Romanians.
As I have said before, I have come to love Romania – your culture and art, your heritage and history, your sweeping landscapes and priceless biodiversity, this ‘tara de gloria, tara de dor’ (country of glory, country of longing), if I may paraphrase your national poet, Mihai Eminescu. source: Independent.co.uk
