Bucharest Sports Events
Bucharest is a great destination for sports, as the city is home to three major football clubs: Dinamo, FCSB, and Rapid. The derbies between them are perennially the most anticipated sporting events of the year. The city is also home to volleyball, handball, and basketball teams.
Visiting Bucharest
For many travellers, Bucharest is nothing more than a transport stopover en route to the fairy tale destinations of Romania's countryside. However, those who stick around to scratch below the surface will be pleasantly surprised that this city offers scores more than it's given credit for.
While it is certainly true that a large chunk of its beauty was bulldozed by communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu, Bucharest is still home to plenty of beautiful belle époque buildings, historic churches, and grand green spaces. For those that like to immerse themselves in the social side of a destination, the capital city's caffeine-fuelled cafes and buzzing clubs can certainly compete with their cousins across Europe. Plus, where else can you gawk at a hulking folly like the Palace of Parliament one minute and experience pastoral bliss at an attraction like the Village Museum the next?
