Bucharest (/ˈbjuːkərɛst/; Romanian: București, pronounced [bukuˈreʃtʲ]) is the capital and largest city of Romania, as well as its cultural, industrial, and financial centre. It is located in the southeast of the country, at 44°25′57″N 26°06′14″E / 44.43250°N 26.10389°E / 44.43250; 26.10389Coordinates: 44°25′57″N 26°06′14″E / 44.43250°N 26.10389°E / 44.43250; 26.10389, on the banks of the Dâmbovița River, less than 60 km (37.3 mi) north of the Danube River and the Bulgarian border.
Bucharest was first mentioned in documents in 1459. It became the capital of Romania in 1862 and is the centre of Romanian media, culture, and art. Its architecture is a mix of historical (neo-classical), interbellum (Bauhaus and art deco), communist-era and modern. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of "Little Paris" (Micul Paris). Although buildings and districts in the historic city centre were heavily damaged or destroyed by war, earthquakes, and above all Nicolae Ceaușescu's program of systematization, many survived. In recent years, the city has been experiencing an economic and cultural boom.

Romania (i/roʊˈmeɪniə/ roh-MAY-nee-ə; Romanian: România [romɨˈni.a]) is a unitary semi-presidential republic located in Southeastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea, between Bulgaria and Ukraine. It also borders Hungary, Serbia, and Moldova. It covers 238,391 square kilometres (92,043 sq mi) and has a temperate-continental climate. With its 19.94 million inhabitants, it is the seventh most populous member state of the European Union. Its capital and largest city, Bucharest, is the sixth largest city in the EU. The River Danube, which is Europe's second longest river after the Volga, rises in Germany and flows southeastwards for a distance of 2,857 km, coursing through ten countries before emptying in Romania's Danube Delta. Some of its 1,075 km length bordering the country drains the whole of it. The Carpathian Mountains, with their tallest peak Moldoveanu at 2,544 m (8,346 ft), cross Romania from the north to the southwest.
Modern Romania emerged within the territories of the ancient Roman province of Dacia, and was formed in 1859 through a personal union of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The new state, officially named Romania since 1866, gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877. At the end of World War I, Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia united with the sovereign Kingdom of Romania. During World War II, Romania was an ally of Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, fighting side by side with the Wehrmacht until 1944, then it joined the Allied powers after being occupied by the Red Army forces. During the war, Romania lost several territories, of which Northern Transylvania was regained after the war. Following the war, Romania became a socialist republic and member of the Warsaw Pact. After the 1989 Revolution, Romania began a transition back towards democracy and a capitalist market economy.

I went to Bucharest for 3 ays for a business trip and tried to see as much as possible while I was there. Firstly, we walked around Old Town, which is very small compared to Old Towns in Prague, Warsaw, etc. Old Town is pretty quiet during the day, mostly restaurants and cafes but at night time becomes quite lively. On one particular street, the music is bumping. As for traditional food, make sure to eat the cabbage leaves stuffed with pork. It's delicious. I think that is the most traditional food that people recommended to me. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel and its proximity to Old Town was a key factor for choosing it. All in, 3 full days seemed perfect to explore this city. On my last day before flying home, we took a 3 hour journey though the mountains to visit Bran C...
We spend a couple of days in the Romanian capital seeing the sights and enjoying this large city.

To my knowledge there's nobody in this town
But I see your face and hair shinning like gold
You walked up to me and told me to sit down
You bring me food as I walk into your home
"What are you doing here?" she asked in Romanian
I didn't know how to respond in her words
I simply looked into her eyes then I kissed her
She threw me and out into a city of hurt
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself
To be myself
To my knowledge there's nobody in this town
But I've seen your face and hair shinning like gold
You walked up to me and told me to sit down
You brought me food as I walked into your home
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself
