Bucharest is the capital city, cultural, industrial, and financial centre of Romania. It is the largest city in Romania and was first mentioned in documents as early as 1459. Since then it has gone through a variety of changes, becoming the state capital of Romania in 1862 and steadily consolidating its position as the centre of the Romanian mass media, culture and arts. Its eclectic architecture is a mix of historical, interbellum, Communist-era and modern. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of the "Little Paris of the East".
Lisa created the perfect holiday for me and my family to explore wonderful British Columbia. Her intimate knowledge of where to stay, what to eat and things to do proved invaluable and saved me weeks of online research! And when forest fires created some last minute concerns, she was incredibly helpful and put together contingency plans that set our minds at ease. Thanks!
