Flights to Bucharest

Flights to Bucharest

In the 30s, the capital of Rumania was known as “Little Paris”. This nickname is because of similarities such as the construction of majestic buildings, tree-lined avenues, its own Arc de Triomphe and Kisselef Avenue, even longer than the Champs Elysées in the French capital.

Today, Bucharest is still an incredibly special city, traversed by lakes and rivers, breathing its own unique atmosphere. As a curiosity, look at the blend of styles its buildings celebrate. It is clearly the result of a past that has supported conflicting ideologies.

Because it’s a city so full of life and history, Vueling flies you there.

Don't miss... in Bucharest

Arcul de Triumf

This monument, situated on Kiseleff Avenue, is one of the most visited in Bucharest city. In 1914, King Ferdinand I of Rumania took the Arc de Triomphe in Paris as a reference and ordered one to be built in Bucharest. The replica is smaller and the materials have deteriorated a lot due to their poor quality.

National Opera

This important edifice was built during the Communist regime. It is now the official home of the “Opera Naţională”. It is a perfect venue for current opera singers to follow in the international footsteps of the great Rumanian stars of the 19th Century.

Parliament Palace

Its original name was “Casa Poporului” (the House of the People), built by order of the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu. The building’s dimensions are extraordinary at all levels, from its surface area (2nd largest building in the world after the Pentagon) to its 3,000 rooms and 200 bathrooms.

Athenium

Before entering this eclectic, French, neo-Classical building, you will be welcomed by marvellous gardens which you can stroll through. Music-lovers can enjoy a multitude of high quality concerts and cultural events inside.

Russian Church

Tsar Nicolas II of Russia ordered this church to be built with the aim of turning it into the Russian Embassy. As a show of opulence, seven Russian-style domes were erected and roofed in a fine layer of gold, of inappreciable value today. This is a highly recommended visit.
