Easy to reach, by road, by rail, water and air, many of Romania’s cities and towns are now important city break destinations. Interesting architecture, numerous museums, quality music and opera, lively night life are words to associate with them. Bucharest, the capital city, known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned the nickname of "Little Paris"), is today a bustling metropolis.
