Most people might say the best advantage of living in Bucharest is the ability to travel around Europe. There are cheap local and international flights, particularly if you take discount flyers such as Tarom, WizzAir, or Pegasus. Others might argue the best advantage is their culture. Romania has 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites where you can find fortified churches, painted monasteries, historic battlegrounds from the days of the Roman Empire. Mingling among the old churches and walls are Communist buildings, classic and modern European architecture. Obviously Romania is rich with controversial history. Bucharest is full of dynamic personalities. At any given time, especially in Bucharest, you may see anything from traditional farmers to priests to movie stars to artists in the crowds. I have never seen such incredible artistic/graphic/jewelry design concepts thanks to the younger generations making their mark. Also ecotourism is a blossoming industry in Romania and there are countless and worthwhile opportunities to undertake. They offer unique and affordable activities like bear watching, back country skiing, hiking, cycling, cooking locally. You can even indulge in eco-tourim inspired spa vacations since there are many natural springs hidden amongst the mountains. - Feb 2014
