Revealing beautiful Bucharest. It’s the theme of my latest blog project, one that’s becoming closer and closer to my heart as I dedicate more time to it. I am going to show you the beautiful side of Bucharest, the city I’ve been living in for 11 years and that I’ve come to love. I know many of my non-Romanian readers know very little or have seen or heard less positive things about our capital, so I’m inviting you to get to know it little by little as seen through my own eyes. It is a continuing discovery for me as well and I truly believe that it’s up to every one of us to live our life beautifully.
My friend Ingrid from Life and Luxury is also joining me in this series and today she is presenting a special hotel, one of the places worth seeing in our city, The Sarroglia Hotel. There will be other bloggers from different countries sharing their own city lights, which I’m looking forward to mentioning on my blog. I hope you’ll enjoy.
The Romanian Athenaeum
Expect to see more photos of the atheneum in the future posts, as I love taking pictures of it every time I pass by. Designed by French architect Albert Galleron and inaugurated in 1888, it is one of Bucharest’s monumental buildings and cultural symbols. Attending a concert there during the George Enescu Festival is a unique experience. The surroundings are lovely too, as you can see in the first photo below and the last two.
Bucharest has an amazing architecture. In the 20th century it became one of the most beautiful European capitals and it was known as Little Paris. I will try to capture its elegant buildings, the harmonious blending of so many different influences, its eclectic style.
Today Bucharest continues to surprise me by revealing its charm in the most unexpected places, like its best kept secrets. Romantic streets with sidewalk cafes and tea houses, fashion ateliers and coquettish boutiques, inviting bookstores and delicatessen shops, I will share them all with you in good time.
I love it ! I lived in Bucharest for 8 years and I always loved this crazy beautiful city.
Beautiful city with beautiful architecture! You live in a lovely place
Ada, thank you for this! I know very little about this city and the images are so beautiful. I loom forward to reading more about the ‘secret’ and best spots of your capital. have a nice day!
Sweet Ada,
Thank you for your comment! It hit right home, and I have reread it several times, always getting out more inspiration and comforting. I will beat my eating issues, I will. You believe in me, so do many other people. I am starting to believe, too.
Your Bucharest project is very exciting. Go and shoot those pics, you are doing just great. I see the excitement! I love when people get spurred about something. That moves mountains and gives life sweet sense.
I met a Romanian girl in Paris once, and I loved discussing with her. She was so cultivated. The closest to your country I have been is Bosnia. But I adored the Balkans’ vibes. And I know that your country is way different, but at least in the same corner of the world. My dear bro has been to Romania and loved it!
Dear Susu,
And I’m glad you see the difference between Romania, a Southeastern Central European country, and the Balkans. There are so many confusions made on this subject.
I’m glad to see you optimistic. I know you will overcome your issues for good.
I must admit I know very little about Bucharest, but it looks lovely… such beautiful architecture. Am looking forward to seeing more posts too!
Helen:)
PS: Thanks for your nice comments earlier.
I’m impressed, Ada. I always have heard very well about Bucarest and now I understand why. I can believe that you are so proud of this gorgeous city. I love historical cities.
I would like very much travel to Romania, and Bucarest is a “must visit”. Thanks for sharing and letting us know more about this fabulous place.
Ada, this is beautiful and now I can’t wait for your next Bucharest post! It’s definitely worth visiting … yes, I totally trust your eyes
