I am Ukrainian and I have been living in Romania for several years now, now it is my home. Bucharest is an amazing city. Very safe and very developed. I have never felt so good anywhere in Europe as I did here.
Yo, im a bit late, but as a Romanian resident i can tell you to not worry about the graffiti, its just dumb teens, the country is very safe, I’ve lived here for 6 years never had any issue
@@mihaelahanu2177Ma da multi pictori mazgalitori aveti acolo.De ce politia bucuresteana nu-si face treaba,nui amendeaza pe pictori,ar fi orasul cu mult mai frumos,chiar si cu cladirile degradate!
As a Romanian resident, I must agree with you... although the main danger can be the gipsy clan wars even though they are scarce... here and there but they usually fight between each other anyway.
Lifestyle is good only when you visit and stay for a short time. People who live here are not so lifestyle oriented , because 70% of people are pay the minimum wage per month. That is 466€ without taxes -42% we are in EU with ther prices. We are kept down to do better because of life conditions.
Current I'm living and working in Romania it's been 3 years almost. And Bucharest is like my second home. Romania is very large country And Beautiful country. I would say, Go to brasov, Cluj, shigishoara, Oradea.. sinaia... If you really want to explore ROMANIA. And, Bucharest is an Emotion. ❤
Love the whole vibe of the video. Bucharest has a lot of hidden gems, you have passed by a lot of them where you were walking 🙊Stavropoleus church, Caru cu Bere, Hanul lui Manuc, Cercul militar, club Control, more cool restaurants like Mace or Salon Golescu, a lot cake shops, Tanti Mita Biciclista House, George Enescu Museum, Carturesti Library. Bucharest is not optimised for tourists yet, but it has plenty of things to do, it’s artsy, relaxed and fun by night. The North is more posh. Worth exploring, not many tourists know it.
I am from California but I live in Sibiu now. It is a nice, quiet, safe and beautiful city with friendly helpful people :). Romania is partially is in the Schgen zone if you are traveling by plane but by car or train, you need to stop at passport control.
m@@josepblawatski California, high standard???? LOL you must be a kid :)) go try live there where a 1 bedroom apartment rent is $6000 lol :)) see how high the standard is :))
People are kind and open minded. The arhitecture is amazing and you acn find a diversity of good food places, also the biggest Aquatic relaxation center from Europe. Other than that, you have the biggest building in Europe (the parliament) and you are very close to Castel Peleș, situated a couple of tens of Km away, former home of our all time best king Carol !. That is something truly unique.
Romania is a beautiful country... You won't find such places and landscapes anywhere in the world... I hope I can get there this summer. I recommend you to visit all the tourist locations in Romania... you will not be disappointed
Is nice to visit.. Personally would recommend to go see other parts of the country as he said Sibiu, Transfagarasan (mind boggling place) Transalpina and soo many more. Romania is a gem 💎
Back in the 1990's Bucharest was brilliant. I was in my early 20's and if you had a hundred dollars in your pocket then you were a King and the city was yours for the night.
@@dandodoiu1699 I've lived almost 20 years in Romania and I am still yet to visit those places you mentioned. Terrible single lane roads in Romania, takes forever to just travel 100KM.
mate! i can say that Serbia didn't disappoint also! Belgrade maybe is a bit more stuck in a communist time, but Novi Sad??? mate! we chose Novi Sad to start our honeymoon 2 years ago! did not regret it! and also Exit festival mate! it is a must attend at least once!
Was told the same, I'm in Bucharest for a month now and I'm loving it, weather, parks, nature, people and great food, also pretty effordable! I have become an ambassador for Bucharest!
@@cv5w, I see what u did there. And honestly, you can find some svastika graffiti in Bucharest, but Gen Z is more likely to lean left than right (not that`s better in any way or less likely to become dangerous).
Bucharest has a lot to offer and is huge compared to most other cities in Romania (although it doesn't have many places like the Old Town). What I love the most is the parks (Bordei, Circului, Drumul Taberei) and if you want to see another area that looks more modern than Downtown, check out the area between Piata Floreasca and Promenada Mall, there are skyscrapers and there's also a riverside park on the left.
Graffiti _started_ with gangs, to mark their territories. Another form of stupidity would be talking about sht you don't know about, with conviction. The stupid ain't stupid enough till he's also proud, innit? Astea fiind zise, nu esti asa departe de adevar. Mai tre' sa-ti cizelezi limbajul putin si aproape ne intelegem.
1. You ate sarmale (cabbage rolls with minced pork meat) + Mamaliga (polenta = boiled corn flour). The dip: salata de vinete (eggplant salad). 2. Flag of Czech Republic (at min 5:37); 3. At 12:57 - National History Museum; 4. The long line was for Zlatari Orthodox- Christian Church. 5. The main street is CALEA VICTORIEI (Victory's Avenue); 6. The ímportant gentleman was King Carol I, a noble German who ruled Romania as a Prince - from 1866 to 1881, and as a King - from 1881 to 1914 (when he died - it was a tough decision to fight against his own people for his adoptive country, Romania).
@@teknicalstuff Si-a pus unele intrebari, la care nu avea raspuns. Eu doar am ajutat cu raspunsurile respective, pentru cei care nu sunt din Bucuresti.
Bucharest looks nice to me. It's on my list. Hope you're going to show us more of Romania. Next week I'll be visiting Oradea, close to the Hungarian border.
Good choice man, it's by far the safest and one of the most developed cities in Romania. They got really beautiful castles and historic monuments, which I recommend to visit and near Oradea is a town called Baile Felix where there's a big thermic aquatic park, which is also nice.

As a Romanian I also never went to Bulgaria until last month, the first time, I went from Vidin to Sofia and the road was straight awful.. The main road number 1 was closed for some kilometers, I don't know why, and I had to go for hours through small country roads... And going back it was even worse, I had to take the 81 road that passes through mountains and is full of trucks.. I mean full of trucks on a windy and extremely curvy mountain highway... The positive thing is that Sofia was beautiful, and the food was also really good, but I don't think I will visit again unless they fix the damn main road.
@@RaduRadonys we went to Veliko Tarnovo, which is lovely and the place was full of Romanians on 1st of May. I kept saying "what are all these Romanians doing here?! Go back to where I came from!" 😀 The roads we took at the time weren't as bad as what you've experienced. I'm sorry for your compromised time there. Take care!
@@michaellupu2080 If you went from Bucharest to Veliko Tarnovo then the road is fine, of course, you are not crossing the mountains. But if you go from Western Romania to Sofia as I did, you have to pass through the mountains. Thanks for the wishes!
@@RaduRadonys Yes unfortunately road infrastructure in northern Bulgaria is still quite underdeveloped, but they're currently building the Botevgrad-Vidin expressway, which should make the journey from Vidin to Sofia much faster and more enjoyable. In fact, this is why the roads were closed and you had to detour through the mountains. It'll probably be a few years before that expressway is finished... It's really dumb because they built that bridge at Vidin, but then didn't connect it properly to the road network, so now you have trucks going through curvy mountain roads as you described... really dumb, but it's how our government operates.
Красивая архитектура. Так же понравилась улица со скамейками, где деревья чередуются с фонарями и создается тень днем, а также, вероятно очень крутая атмосфера ночью.
3:46 you're eating it without sourcream (the cabbage rolls), its like eating a hot-dog without ketchup and mustard, its good/ok-ish, but the flavors are not there to mix.
In terms of safety, Romania is probably in the top spots in all of Europe. I always find it funny when foreigners say that it's not safe, based on some oudated views or stereotypes. It is safe, but that's one of the few positives i can think of. As for Bucharest, it's pretty dirty, and quite polluted. We have the worst traffic in Europe, and you can really smell it 😅. Long-term, I'm pretty sure it won't do your health any good. It's true that you really have to try to get bored in Bucharest, there's always something to do/see/experience. It has immense potential, if only it were cleaner, and more pedestrian friendly. It's better than it was 10-20 years ago, definitely. Avoid it during summer, it can be unbearably hot & humid.
@@Travelwishlist I said it's pretty dirty and quite polluted, which is absolutely true. I did not compare it to other cities, which might be worse in some regards, and better in others. Denying this won't change anything.
@@a4andrei Well l disagree. And you said it's smelly which is not true. I think you are exaggerating. Yes of course we must compare. Because we have always compared Romania to other more "developed "countries, and brought it down as being outdated. Well now it's better than some famous western countries in terms of safety and cleanliness
@@Travelwishlist Umm, sorry... Do you live in Bucharest? I've been living here for over 10 years, and can tell you that it smells like shit sometimes. There's also a well known issue that a waste facility burns garbage and releases the toxic fumes into the air, making entire neighborhoods smell like shit. I've had to close the windows during the extreme heat waves we had a few weeks ago, making the air inside the house unbearably hot, and having to use the air conditioning almost 24/7. So yeah, I know what I'm talking about, as a full time resident here. So you can disagree all you want, it doesn't change the actual facts.
They belong to private owners who either are too old or too poor to take upon renovations. But yes, a better system could be made in place to incentivize them to at least sell to other ppl who can afford the renovations/ upkeep.
@@user-mi4yc7pr3xit was bad, yes. But they were built with a lot of sacrifice! Which is a good lesson for nowadays people who take everything for granted!
@@vald9698 not all of them. Some also belong to rogue investors that are deliberately leaving them to crumble, just so they can raise their "residences" on the remaining empty plot.
Bucharest was called "The Small Paris" before Ceaușescu (the leader of Romania when the country was under the communist regime) destroyed most of the Art Nouveau architectural buildings and built communist blocks....
This was a lovely vlog, I'm happy you liked the city! 🙂 Everyone keeps hating on Bucharest, but I think it's nice & it has a vibe. If you're not leaving straight away, you can take one of those open-deck tour buses that goes around the interesting areas. You can take it from Piata Unirii. Also, you can visit a nice park, like Herăstrău (it's one of the biggest in-city parks in Europe, if not _the_ biggest). 👍 Touring the Palace of Parliament would also be cool.
Tatăl meu mi-a explicat de ce in satul nostru este liniște și nu sunt furturi. Toate astea pentru că hoții noștrii au găsit zone mai bune in vestul Europei, unde este mai multă bogăție și prin urmare mai mult de furat.
I'm a romanian artist/content creator and I was born and used to live in Bucharest till at the age of 4 when I moved out. Cool seeing others visiting our country!
Was wondering why there were so many people wandering around on a Sunday afternoon. Then thought, maybe in the northern hemisphere they take in every bit of summer sunshine after a long cold winter. I love seeing people out and about socialising and enjoying themselves in a relaxing environment. Bucharest is impressive in that area. So many wonderful countries that we rarely even think about in the west. I really appreciate you taking us around and sharing with us. 😊
I live in Bucharest. We have summer from May to September. Summers here get really really hot, +35 and occasionally +40. On Saturdays and Sundays and other holidays we like to spend a lot of time outside. Also in the summer many locals travel to other places, students go home, etc so the city now is quite empty
summer is the worst in Bucharest now with global warming, past 2 summers we've had more and more days of extreme heat, weeks in a row, just had two weeks of close to and over 40C and the weather tends to be very pleasant in April-May and September-Oct ,so it's not taking advantage of summer but just ...people in most of Europe like walking in the town and the parks in their free time, there's a strong culture of taking a stroll in town and sitting down for a drink and meal, preferably outside except for when it's really cold. From May to Oct this main street he was walking on becomes a pedestrian street and so a lot of people come to walk, it was not even busy in this video because of the heat.
16:28 Is the best part of the video. That little girl is very personable and funny. _"Halo my friend... My bro... What's you from? Ooooooo... good, good."_ 🤣 Made my day.
we do not care or notice much, as the EU ID card allows us to travel anywhere, even in many of the countries in Africa and so on.... but from what I was able to notice now that we have immigrants, for them it would make a difference.
Hey man . We have been enjoying your videos for a while . We are currently located in Varna, Bulgaria. It is a really good place to visit and perhaps do a video about it . Me and my wife relocated here from California a couple of years ago to enjoy the slow and simple life with our 2 kids .If you would like to come by and visit we will be more than happy to show you the city around.
Додам, що в Бухаресті також є величезна російська церква. Також є багато українських церков у менших містах. Бухарест є неймовірною столицею для релігій, у них також є англійська, французька, католицька, вірменська та інші церкви.

I am from Bucharest and I like the way you present our city! Yes, we are an EU country and a NATO country too. That National something… you see is National Museum of Romanian History. And then , that beautiful building on the left is “Palace of Deposits and Consignments”. That main street is called Calea Victoriei (“Victory Road”) and, yes, our city mayor closed this street sundays for people to walk and recreate. 😊
Симпатичный город со старой архитектурой, центр видно реставрируют. Чище чем ожидала, хотя в переулках конечно граффити хватает. Спасибо за видео, удачи.
Honestly, the kind of people who insist that there's nothing to see in Bucharest are also the same kind of people who don't actually know anything about the city beyond Lipscani and the People's Palace. IMO Bucharest really shines if you visit the old residential neighborhoods that are adjacent to the city center; the Icoanei and Armeneasca districts, for instance, have a good mix of early 20th century and 19th century architecture, everything from "provincial beaux arts" and moorish and venetto mansions to art deco. They also have this really laid back feel to them that makes them fun to explore, especially on a summer day.
When is the new episode coming? It's a very interesting series, like a movie. Are you also going to Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj Napoca, Timisoara and Oradea? If you are still in Transylvania, visit them all, in addition, near Cluj there is Turda Salina (a wonder of nature). Near Deva in Transylvania, there are ancient (Dacian) relics. In Brasov, I recommend Peles Castle more than Dracula's Castle. Rucar-Bran, Sinaia and Poiana Brasov are wonders of nature, especially the first, they are mountain resorts.
We are only part of the "aerial" Schengen zone. Which basically means if you travel by other means of travel other than plane, you have to pass a border check.
The Europeans made a ranking of English speakers at the youth level, and Romania came in 2nd place. Up to 45-50 years you have no problems. But other foreign languages are also spoken, such as German, Italian, Spanish and some French and even Russian.
Everywhere you go,there are people talking to you in English,up to 45-50 years old they can have a good conversation with you in English,many Romanians do talk also Spanish,French and Italian
It's august - so people have their yearly vacations (including children in summer vacation). From September, Bucharest will get so crowded and traffic will be terrible.
great, thank you. When I was a child living in Poland, we were going mostly to the seashore to get some sun. Maybe that is what still happening. Great video as usual, love those walking tours. pay you with like- don't judge !!!!! hahahahaha
Since you like big cities, I will suggest some other places to see, restaurants to visit and things to do if you are still in Bucharest. Restaurants: Kong Herastrau (for entertainment), Restaurant La Negra (Cuban I believe), Hiro Bay (by the water), Indigen Space for Soul and of course Restaurant Hanu Lui Manuc and Caru cu Bere (tradițional) and Grand Cafe Van Gogh Bars: Nomad Skybar and Linea -Closer to The Moon Activities: Guava (Bali Vibe Pool and Garden), Therme Bucharest, Hype Arena (indoor entertainment area), Mina Museum of Immersive Arts, Fountain Show (that only happens in summer during the weekends), AFI Cotroceni Mall (for shopping, ice skating and rock climbing) To see: Pasajul Macca VillaCrosse, Pasajul Victoriei (umbrellas), Carturesti Carusel (library), Opera Nationala (sometimes do candlelight concerts), Palace of the Parliament, The Church of the Stavropoleos Monastery, Dimitre Gusti National Village Museum (traditional) Enjoy!
I'm from Arad, Romania, a city in Transilvania closer to Hungary. I've been to our capital a few times, not my favorite but I see it's gotten cleaned up pretty nice. I'd rather go to Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj, Oradea and see the beautiful Carpati, Carpathian mountains.
It's fine to be honest. I haven't visited it in 10 - 15 years this year (2024) and was expecting a real bad experience but everyone was nice. I also took part in a bus fight and I enjoyed the energy. It just proves in what God-forsaken city I live in since fights make me feel nostalgic more than anything else.
I recommend Brasov-Sibiu-Oradea but Romania is like 15X bigger. Bucharest is very big, compared to the Baltic countries it's sometimes bigger than a whole country... Keep in mind it's a 3.5-4 million city in the metropolitan, not some 300-400k!
In Romania summer is very hot, but if you plan to visit half of the cities are deserted because of holidays. First the students, and after the people traveling...
You're supposed to mix the eggplant with the onion slices and the tomatoes. My favourite is with mayo. In some parts of the country people eat it with garlic. It was bland because you didn't mix the ingredients.
As an expat Englishman who calls Romania home, I love the country. Bucharest is not a long stay city, get in have a look and go explore the rest of the country, get up to Mara Mures in the far north in the world heritage park areas in the mountains. So much beauty. As for quiet in Bucharest, its also the time of year where Romanians go on holiday and leave the city for the coast at Constanta and Mamaia or they head to Bulgaria's black sea coast, so the city does empty out a bit, plus church day of course. That said, the parks on a Sunday are always full of people just relaxing and always activities on in the parks in Spring and Summer. La Mama is a franchise operation, more than one around town and for me so so. Good luck exploring the rest of Romania, very safe country and great people.
Why isn't Bucharest a long-stay city? Stop saying that. You could spend weeks in and around the city and still discover new architecture, food, culture and historical sites.
@@OneTireFire Weeks in Bucharest! Sorry my friend but that's my opinion as someone who travels a lot. Don't confuse what I said as negative, I live in Bucharest and love it when many hate it. For me it's a small city that has some major attractions you can see in a couple of days. Once you see old town, piata Unirii, do the big parks, visit parliament, ride the metro, see the museums, that's it. It's a great city for a few days but that's it, get out and see the beauty of the rest of the country where you can definitely spend weeks. We all have opinions mate, the main thing is being polite enough to allow people to express them not tell them to stop saying something.... Bucharest has history but it's not a big city that's the truth. When there is no traffic you can drive across town in 20 minutes easily. So stay safe ...multa sanatate.
@@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr I actually came back from Australia after many years there. I had visited here before, my partner is from here too, been together over 10 years, so both decided to stay here. Love the history, culture, the religion suits me, the country is still proud of its flag....we can't even fly our own flag in the UK now as it might offend a minority. Yes we still have problems here with salaries etc but the negatives I think overcome by the positives. Still have great family values here which is also brilliant. Many who move thinking it's better elsewhere soon realise it's not that bad here. Many other European cities are now ghettos and dirty and crime ridden. So the list goes on....I made the right choice for me anyway, it's home now and no regrets. Imi place toate.
In restaurants, the taste of food can often fall short of the real deal. Next time, connect with a local and savor a meal at a true local eatery. You'll likely discover the genuine flavors of Romanian cuisine and perhaps even make a Romanian friend. It's the best way to immerse yourself in the authentic culinary culture!
I love that dish, although it can have different taste based on seasoning. I like the rolls sour sweet but some eat them with peppers or Turkish/greek kind of seasoning. I also mix the polenta with butter, grilled cheese and high fat yoghurt/cream
Bucharest is a wonderful city full of opportunities, but during summers it feels like an overheated bucket of cement. We need more trees for that sweet sweet shade!
No you don't. Most German and Swiss and Austrian people already know their 'view" on Romania is false, but they insist on having it just to feel superior.
It’s a city in a constant development. It’s a mix between the communist buildings and the interbelic period. It’s a nice, very safe city. Lot’s of good restaurants, places to visit. La mama….not that great of a restaurant:). The cities to visit in Romania are Sibiu, Brasov, Timisoara, Iasi and Cluj-Napoca. Oradea is a good candidate, and Alba-Iulia for the fortress
You passed by some big museums, you can check the museum of Romanian villages, it’s in Bucharest and close to the centre, it’s outside and you can see how houses were in Romania 100 years ago. Bucharest is best to visit for the culture.
I am Romanian, F42. That is made from like crushed corn, like at a mill, like for flour = usually just water, salt and some of this corm flour (some add oil/butter/milk, but... not at restaurants, usually). We make it and use it as bread or as some people make just steamed/boiled potatoes/rice/etc. = it is supposed to be neutral. As foods popular here... you could try different "ciorba" (soups), mici (rolls of hamburger patties with mustard and bread/mămăligă (the corn thing you ate), hamsii (tiny fish) with mujdei (garlic sauce) and... mămăligă, home made salata de varză or salata de rosii (cabage salad or tomato salad), murături (pickles), various local cheeses and deli meats and sausages and bread things, as well as different local fish dishes. There is no real "perfectly elegant" way to eat those rolls, though... you did well: the point is food reaching your mouth, as easily as possible (they are minced meat + rice + sometimes vegs like onions/carrots/bell peppers + spices + wrapped in various kinds of leaves + boiled in some tomato/sour juice). 20 dollars for a meal is not so cheap at all... as 20 dollars can feed a family for many days, with stuff like you ate (is less than 10 for huge pots of all you ate). 20 dollars can be a night of accommodations. We are EU, for long, now. That is Schengen, yes. There are no true plans to use Euros, as Romania not really able align prices + nobody really liking even idea of giving up own "coin". That... area of middle video... we call "the old town" of Bucharest. Gang and mafia that one should concern self with... do not make signs - graffiti shows some other things. If, still, on Romania and needing help with anything, please, write in private and I can give phone number and try help with what needed (no money, no meeting, nothing weird + can share ID picture... adress covered). Kids said bad words... not to you, but... in general... they were not of good meaning. Sibiu is much worth seeing. So is Brașov and port side/old city of Constanța and all Dobrogea zone (between Danube and sea) and places around Brașov and Suceava/Iași and Râmnicu Vâlcea etc., of you like city life. Best way to visit Romania is to rent something cheap and good for a year or so and come here, buy (and sell... before leaving) an used car etc.. Have fun! :)
Mashed potatoes, papanași (I don't like them... but people love them) or clătite (like... crepps), corn on the cob... boiled, but, also, grilled, gogoși (donuts + where locals eat them at farmers' fairs, not the Instagram/international versions in malls), fasole bătută (bean hummus) and mancare or ciorba de fasole (Bean stew or bean soup) etc.. Salata orientala/de Beouf (like... salads of boiled vegs)... etc.. Hiking trails are great... but... beware of either bears or vipers. 🙂🙂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 For drinking alcohol... local wine or craft local type of beer (not craft imitation of international) or must (moo-st = less fermented wine) or boiled wine or țuică (local vodka) or socată (fermented drink made of flowers) or... so various fermented drinks.
He said that "has no taste", so he does not know " salata de vinete ". Same time he associates graffiti with gangs and passes by The History museum.... Very ignorant vlogger
come to the area of Moldavia and Romania, in the area of Neamt: Bicaz Gorges, Bicaz Dam and Lake, Ceahlău Mountain, Văratec and Agapia Nunneries (among the largest in the Orthodox world in terms of number of monks), Neamț Monasteries and hermitages: Pângărați, Bistrita, Horaita, Horăicioara, Neamț, Pocrov, Secu, Sihăstria, Sihla, Daniil Sihastru, etc.. The Neamț Citadel from Târgu Neamț, the Ion Creangă memorial house, the history museum and the Eneolithic museum from Piatra Neamț with the vestiges of the oldest civilization in Europe, etc.. Come to the Neamtlu area!

People are kind and open minded. The arhitecture is amazing and you acn find a diversity of good food places, also the biggest Aquatic relaxation center from Europe. Other than that, you have the biggest building in Europe (the parliament) and you are very close to Castel Peleș, situated a couple of tens of Km away, former home of our all time best king Carol !. That is something truly unique.
Romania is a beautiful country... You won't find such places and landscapes anywhere in the world... I hope I can get there this summer. I recommend you to visit all the tourist locations in Romania... you will not be disappointed
Is nice to visit..
Personally would recommend to go see other parts of the country as he said Sibiu, Transfagarasan (mind boggling place) Transalpina and soo many more.
Romania is a gem 💎
Back in the 1990's Bucharest was brilliant. I was in my early 20's and if you had a hundred dollars in your pocket then you were a King and the city was yours for the night.

@@cv5w, I see what u did there. And honestly, you can find some svastika graffiti in Bucharest, but Gen Z is more likely to lean left than right (not that`s better in any way or less likely to become dangerous).
Ah, nein! Not ze art skool! Das ist eine internaschonal incident vaiting to happen!
Bucharest has a lot to offer and is huge compared to most other cities in Romania (although it doesn't have many places like the Old Town). What I love the most is the parks (Bordei, Circului, Drumul Taberei) and if you want to see another area that looks more modern than Downtown, check out the area between Piata Floreasca and Promenada Mall, there are skyscrapers and there's also a riverside park on the left.
Graffiti has nothing to do with gangs, it's a form of stupidity. These scribbles make them children from disorganized families.
and "disorganized" families doesn't always mean poor...
Stupidity? Ok. Rest of the world calls it art , but what I know , u are right my fellow cowboy
@@manuben8285graffiti is indeed art, but street tags are just stupid vadalism.
graffiti placed on some random wall to make it look nice is art, but when you place it on monuments and old buildings is plain stupidity.
Graffiti _started_ with gangs, to mark their territories. Another form of stupidity would be talking about sht you don't know about, with conviction.

Bucharest looks nice to me. It's on my list. Hope you're going to show us more of Romania. Next week I'll be visiting Oradea, close to the Hungarian border.
Oradea is way better than Bucharest. Sibiu, Brasov, Oradea, Arad, Timisoara are more beautiful than capital city which is a concret monster.
@@dhanyrafael I also find Bucharest attractive. It's a big city, completely different vibe. I like non-touristy places.
Good choice man, it's by far the safest and one of the most developed cities in Romania. They got really beautiful castles and historic monuments, which I recommend to visit and near Oradea is a town called Baile Felix where there's a big thermic aquatic park, which is also nice.

As a Bulgarian I can't believe I've never been to Romania. I need to check out Bucharest soon.
As a Romanian, I visited your country and was blown away by the beauty of the place and the hospitality was great!
Enjoy your visit when it'll happen!
As a Romanian I also never went to Bulgaria until last month, the first time, I went from Vidin to Sofia and the road was straight awful.. The main road number 1 was closed for some kilometers, I don't know why, and I had to go for hours through small country roads... And going back it was even worse, I had to take the 81 road that passes through mountains and is full of trucks.. I mean full of trucks on a windy and extremely curvy mountain highway... The positive thing is that Sofia was beautiful, and the food was also really good, but I don't think I will visit again unless they fix the damn main road.
@@RaduRadonys we went to Veliko Tarnovo, which is lovely and the place was full of Romanians on 1st of May. I kept saying "what are all these Romanians doing here?! Go back to where I came from!" 😀
The roads we took at the time weren't as bad as what you've experienced. I'm sorry for your compromised time there. Take care!
@@michaellupu2080 If you went from Bucharest to Veliko Tarnovo then the road is fine, of course, you are not crossing the mountains. But if you go from Western Romania to Sofia as I did, you have to pass through the mountains. Thanks for the wishes!
@@RaduRadonys Yes unfortunately road infrastructure in northern Bulgaria is still quite underdeveloped, but they're currently building the Botevgrad-Vidin expressway, which should make the journey from Vidin to Sofia much faster and more enjoyable. In fact, this is why the roads were closed and you had to detour through the mountains. It'll probably be a few years before that expressway is finished... It's really dumb because they built that bridge at Vidin, but then didn't connect it properly to the road network, so now you have trucks going through curvy mountain roads as you described... really dumb, but it's how our government operates.
As a Romanian, this video is wholsome for me to watch!
Красивая архитектура. Так же понравилась улица со скамейками, где деревья чередуются с фонарями и создается тень днем, а также, вероятно очень крутая атмосфера ночью.
3:46 you're eating it without sourcream (the cabbage rolls), its like eating a hot-dog without ketchup and mustard, its good/ok-ish, but the flavors are not there to mix.
Well said.
In terms of safety, Romania is probably in the top spots in all of Europe. I always find it funny when foreigners say that it's not safe, based on some oudated views or stereotypes. It is safe, but that's one of the few positives i can think of. As for Bucharest, it's pretty dirty, and quite polluted. We have the worst traffic in Europe, and you can really smell it 😅. Long-term, I'm pretty sure it won't do your health any good. It's true that you really have to try to get bored in Bucharest, there's always something to do/see/experience. It has immense potential, if only it were cleaner, and more pedestrian friendly. It's better than it was 10-20 years ago, definitely. Avoid it during summer, it can be unbearably hot & humid.
Compared to London or Paris , Bucharest îs very clean ! Stop saying it's dirty!
Bucharest is super safe for women's too, I walk alone at night at 4 am and nobody was around giving problems. I definitely love Bucharest.
@@Travelwishlist I said it's pretty dirty and quite polluted, which is absolutely true. I did not compare it to other cities, which might be worse in some regards, and better in others. Denying this won't change anything.
@@a4andrei Well l disagree. And you said it's smelly which is not true. I think you are exaggerating. Yes of course we must compare. Because we have always compared Romania to other more "developed "countries, and brought it down as being outdated. Well now it's better than some famous western countries in terms of safety and cleanliness
@@Travelwishlist Umm, sorry... Do you live in Bucharest? I've been living here for over 10 years, and can tell you that it smells like shit sometimes. There's also a well known issue that a waste facility burns garbage and releases the toxic fumes into the air, making entire neighborhoods smell like shit. I've had to close the windows during the extreme heat waves we had a few weeks ago, making the air inside the house unbearably hot, and having to use the air conditioning almost 24/7. So yeah, I know what I'm talking about, as a full time resident here. So you can disagree all you want, it doesn't change the actual facts.
bucharest could be better since it has tons of world class architectural buildings, sadly few get renovated
Yeah. Communism. Very bad
They belong to private owners who either are too old or too poor to take upon renovations. But yes, a better system could be made in place to incentivize them to at least sell to other ppl who can afford the renovations/ upkeep.

Bucharest was called "The Small Paris" before Ceaușescu (the leader of Romania when the country was under the communist regime) destroyed most of the Art Nouveau architectural buildings and built communist blocks....

This was a lovely vlog, I'm happy you liked the city! 🙂 Everyone keeps hating on Bucharest, but I think it's nice & it has a vibe.
If you're not leaving straight away, you can take one of those open-deck tour buses that goes around the interesting areas. You can take it from Piata Unirii. Also, you can visit a nice park, like Herăstrău (it's one of the biggest in-city parks in Europe, if not _the_ biggest). 👍
Touring the Palace of Parliament would also be cool.

Facts 💯
Tatăl meu mi-a explicat de ce in satul nostru este liniște și nu sunt furturi. Toate astea pentru că hoții noștrii au găsit zone mai bune in vestul Europei, unde este mai multă bogăție și prin urmare mai mult de furat.
I'm a romanian artist/content creator and I was born and used to live in Bucharest till at the age of 4 when I moved out. Cool seeing others visiting our country!
Was wondering why there were so many people wandering around on a Sunday afternoon. Then thought, maybe in the northern hemisphere they take in every bit of summer sunshine after a long cold winter. I love seeing people out and about socialising and enjoying themselves in a relaxing environment. Bucharest is impressive in that area. So many wonderful countries that we rarely even think about in the west. I really appreciate you taking us around and sharing with us. 😊
PS in Australia we’re up early before the heat sets in in summer. This is a strong contrast.
I live in Bucharest. We have summer from May to September. Summers here get really really hot, +35 and occasionally +40. On Saturdays and Sundays and other holidays we like to spend a lot of time outside. Also in the summer many locals travel to other places, students go home, etc so the city now is quite empty
We haven't had a truly cold or long winter for a good while now.
summer is the worst in Bucharest now with global warming, past 2 summers we've had more and more days of extreme heat, weeks in a row, just had two weeks of close to and over 40C and the weather tends to be very pleasant in April-May and September-Oct ,so it's not taking advantage of summer but just ...people in most of Europe like walking in the town and the parks in their free time, there's a strong culture of taking a stroll in town and sitting down for a drink and meal, preferably outside except for when it's really cold. From May to Oct this main street he was walking on becomes a pedestrian street and so a lot of people come to walk, it was not even busy in this video because of the heat.
@@entity22 thank you for your explanation. 😊

And then , that beautiful building on the left is “Palace of Deposits and Consignments”. That main street is called Calea Victoriei (“Victory Road”) and, yes, our city mayor closed this street sundays for people to walk and recreate. 😊
Симпатичный город со старой архитектурой, центр видно реставрируют. Чище чем ожидала, хотя в переулках конечно граффити хватает. Спасибо за видео, удачи.
Honestly, the kind of people who insist that there's nothing to see in Bucharest are also the same kind of people who don't actually know anything about the city beyond Lipscani and the People's Palace.
IMO Bucharest really shines if you visit the old residential neighborhoods that are adjacent to the city center; the Icoanei and Armeneasca districts, for instance, have a good mix of early 20th century and 19th century architecture, everything from "provincial beaux arts" and moorish and venetto mansions to art deco. They also have this really laid back feel to them that makes them fun to explore, especially on a summer day.
When is the new episode coming? It's a very interesting series, like a movie. Are you also going to Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj Napoca, Timisoara and Oradea? If you are still in Transylvania, visit them all, in addition, near Cluj there is Turda Salina (a wonder of nature). Near Deva in Transylvania, there are ancient (Dacian) relics. In Brasov, I recommend Peles Castle more than Dracula's Castle. Rucar-Bran, Sinaia and Poiana Brasov are wonders of nature, especially the first, they are mountain resorts.
We are only part of the "aerial" Schengen zone. Which basically means if you travel by other means of travel other than plane, you have to pass a border check.
Greetings neighbors from Bulgaria. Ce faci? Bucharest looks really nice and in fact really well maintained, better than Sofia.
wow this looks like a very clean city.

Bucharest had 46 degrees those days
Since you like big cities, I will suggest some other places to see, restaurants to visit and things to do if you are still in Bucharest.
Restaurants:
Kong Herastrau (for entertainment), Restaurant La Negra (Cuban I believe), Hiro Bay (by the water), Indigen Space for Soul and of course Restaurant Hanu Lui Manuc and Caru cu Bere (tradițional) and Grand Cafe Van Gogh
Bars:
Nomad Skybar and Linea -Closer to The Moon
Activities:
Guava (Bali Vibe Pool and Garden), Therme Bucharest, Hype Arena (indoor entertainment area), Mina Museum of Immersive Arts, Fountain Show (that only happens in summer during the weekends), AFI Cotroceni Mall (for shopping, ice skating and rock climbing)
To see:
Pasajul Macca VillaCrosse, Pasajul Victoriei (umbrellas), Carturesti Carusel (library), Opera Nationala (sometimes do candlelight concerts), Palace of the Parliament, The Church of the Stavropoleos Monastery, Dimitre Gusti National Village Museum (traditional)
Enjoy!
Welkome to Bucharest. I live here for 36 years and i love it✌️
I'm from Arad, Romania, a city in Transilvania closer to Hungary. I've been to our capital a few times, not my favorite but I see it's gotten cleaned up pretty nice. I'd rather go to Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj, Oradea and see the beautiful Carpati, Carpathian mountains.
Looks like a nice city to me
It's fine to be honest. I haven't visited it in 10 - 15 years this year (2024) and was expecting a real bad experience but everyone was nice. I also took part in a bus fight and I enjoyed the energy. It just proves in what God-forsaken city I live in since fights make me feel nostalgic more than anything else.

Bucharest is my home and so proud of it! ❤
As an expat Englishman who calls Romania home, I love the country. Bucharest is not a long stay city, get in have a look and go explore the rest of the country, get up to Mara Mures in the far north in the world heritage park areas in the mountains. So much beauty. As for quiet in Bucharest, its also the time of year where Romanians go on holiday and leave the city for the coast at Constanta and Mamaia or they head to Bulgaria's black sea coast, so the city does empty out a bit, plus church day of course. That said, the parks on a Sunday are always full of people just relaxing and always activities on in the parks in Spring and Summer. La Mama is a franchise operation, more than one around town and for me so so. Good luck exploring the rest of Romania, very safe country and great people.
Why isn't Bucharest a long-stay city? Stop saying that. You could spend weeks in and around the city and still discover new architecture, food, culture and historical sites.
@@OneTireFire Weeks in Bucharest! Sorry my friend but that's my opinion as someone who travels a lot. Don't confuse what I said as negative, I live in Bucharest and love it when many hate it. For me it's a small city that has some major attractions you can see in a couple of days. Once you see old town, piata Unirii, do the big parks, visit parliament, ride the metro, see the museums, that's it. It's a great city for a few days but that's it, get out and see the beauty of the rest of the country where you can definitely spend weeks. We all have opinions mate, the main thing is being polite enough to allow people to express them not tell them to stop saying something.... Bucharest has history but it's not a big city that's the truth. When there is no traffic you can drive across town in 20 minutes easily. So stay safe ...multa sanatate.

Yes we still have problems here with salaries etc but the negatives I think overcome by the positives. Still have great family values here which is also brilliant. Many who move thinking it's better elsewhere soon realise it's not that bad here. Many other European cities are now ghettos and dirty and crime ridden.

Deva has a Fortress on hill and even I recomend a climb up there, it is not the Corvin Castle. The castle is in Hunedoara, 18km away from Deva.
In restaurants, the taste of food can often fall short of the real deal. Next time, connect with a local and savor a meal at a true local eatery. You'll likely discover the genuine flavors of Romanian cuisine and perhaps even make a Romanian friend. It's the best way to immerse yourself in the authentic culinary culture!
Cakes (15:28) : papanasi.
I love that dish, although it can have different taste based on seasoning. I like the rolls sour sweet but some eat them with peppers or Turkish/greek kind of seasoning. I also mix the polenta with butter, grilled cheese and high fat yoghurt/cream

As foods popular here... you could try different "ciorba" (soups), mici (rolls of hamburger patties with mustard and bread/mămăligă (the corn thing you ate), hamsii (tiny fish) with mujdei (garlic sauce) and... mămăligă, home made salata de varză or salata de rosii (cabage salad or tomato salad), murături (pickles), various local cheeses and deli meats and sausages and bread things, as well as different local fish dishes. There is no real "perfectly elegant" way to eat those rolls, though... you did well: the point is food reaching your mouth, as easily as possible (they are minced meat + rice + sometimes vegs like onions/carrots/bell peppers + spices + wrapped in various kinds of leaves + boiled in some tomato/sour juice). 20 dollars for a meal is not so cheap at all... as 20 dollars can feed a family for many days, with stuff like you ate (is less than 10 for huge pots of all you ate). 20 dollars can be a night of accommodations. We are EU, for long, now. That is Schengen, yes. There are no true plans to use Euros, as Romania not really able align prices + nobody really liking even idea of giving up own "coin". That... area of middle video... we call "the old town" of Bucharest. Gang and mafia that one should concern self with... do not make signs - graffiti shows some other things. If, still, on Romania and needing help with anything, please, write in private and I can give phone number and try help with what needed (no money, no meeting, nothing weird + can share ID picture... adress covered). Kids said bad words... not to you, but... in general... they were not of good meaning. Sibiu is much worth seeing. So is Brașov and port side/old city of Constanța and all Dobrogea zone (between Danube and sea) and places around Brașov and Suceava/Iași and Râmnicu Vâlcea etc., of you like city life. Best way to visit Romania is to rent something cheap and good for a year or so and come here, buy (and sell... before leaving) an used car etc.. Have fun! :)
Mashed potatoes, papanași (I don't like them... but people love them) or clătite (like... crepps), corn on the cob... boiled, but, also, grilled, gogoși (donuts + where locals eat them at farmers' fairs, not the Instagram/international versions in malls), fasole bătută (bean hummus) and mancare or ciorba de fasole (Bean stew or bean soup) etc.. Salata orientala/de Beouf (like... salads of boiled vegs)... etc.. Hiking trails are great... but... beware of either bears or vipers. 🙂🙂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
For drinking alcohol... local wine or craft local type of beer (not craft imitation of international) or must (moo-st = less fermented wine) or boiled wine or țuică (local vodka) or socată (fermented drink made of flowers) or... so various fermented drinks.
People are, generally, warmer, closer and nicer the smaller the community is. 🙂
For "authentic"... it might be good to look for places where locals tend to go. 🤭😃😃😃🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I really like your videos. Much love from Romania ❤
Метро классное, интересное
мне показалось что двери вагонов низкие, слай походу два с лишним метра ростом
Cornmeal is instead of bread. You should also come to Cluj 😊
that eggplant dip you suppose to eat it with bread and a tomato slice. If you like, you can add onion.
He said that "has no taste", so he does not know " salata de vinete ". Same time he associates graffiti with gangs and passes by The History museum.... Very ignorant vlogger
As a Romanian I can tell you that Bucharest it’s nice and welcoming but Romania have beautiful and unique places to see . Enjoy !
13:00 - muzeul national de istorie, or "National History Museum"
Congrats for your excellent spelling of the city name "Sibiu". You nailed it.
Since you like sweet drinks, PLEASE try visinata. It is a sweet wine made from cherries. DELICIOUS 😋😋😋
