Tracing the Danube
Follow the Danube by rail through Habsburg capitals and cities, reaching Romania’s mountains and the river’s eastern edge.
Bucharest, Romania’s capital, is a city of contrasts where neoclassical architecture meets communist-era landmarks. The Palace of the Parliament, one of the world’s largest buildings, and the charming Lipscani district highlight its diverse history. Bucharest’s parks, cafés, and lively cultural scene make it a fascinating and evolving destination.
