Other excellent stops include the Village Museum for its displays of Romanian folk architecture and the square of Piata Revolutiei, whose buildings still bear bullet marks from the uprising leading to Ceausescu´s execution.
If you have the time to venture out of Bucharest, grab the opportunity. Mogosoaia Palace is less than 15km to the south, while the lakeside resort of Snagov, with its island and monastery, is only 40km to the north. Further northward, Sinaia offers gorgeous mountain scenery and 17th-century Peles Castle plus, in winter, skiing.
Horror buffs should head to the majestic Fagaras
