What to do in Bucharest

The Palace of Parliament is a must-see: Europe's largest building by volume. Wander the Old Town (Lipscani) with its cobbled streets, cafés and shops. Don't skip Stavropoleos Church, the Art Museum of Romania and Herastrau Park. Romanian food is hearty and affordable: try mici (grilled meat rolls) and meat soup. Prices here beat most of the rest of Europe.
