Overview
Founded almost 600 years ago, Bucharest has had a tumultuous past marked by wars, foreign occupations, fires, earthquakes, plagues, and violent regimes. However, all these historical events have also made Bucharest what it is today: an eclectic, interesting place full of history at each step.
