Bucharest Sights: Museums, art galleries, historical buildings etc.
That history has not been kind to Romania is in fact the visitor's luck. Few other cities in Europe have seen as much trouble as
Bucharest in over the past three decades or so, and if it's revolutionary sights you are after, then you have come to the right place (
Piata Revolutiei, to be precise).
But there is also a panoply of excellent
Bucharest museums,
art galleries and not a few
oddities in Bucharest. In short: there is far more to see in Bucharest than immediately meets the eye.
