Four nights, two very different vibes, worked out well for an anniversary trip. Bucharest gave us the cafes and nightlife, Sighisoara gave us the fairytale citadel walks. Only downside was the train transfer between the two cities, which ate up nearly half a day. Would still recommend it without hesitation.
Palace of Parliament tour felt rushed, the guide raced us through in barely twenty minutes. Given how much history that building holds, it felt like a box ticking exercise rather than a proper tour.
Enjoyed the mix of Bucharest's energy and Sighisoara's small town charm more than we expected.
The Palace of Parliament is staggering, but our guide raced us through in barely twenty minutes, more box-ticking than a proper tour. For a building holding that much history, we left feeling a little short-changed.
Sighisoara at dusk looked like a fairytale, we just held hands and stared at the citadel lights.
Bucharest's Old Town at night was pure magic. Hidden courtyards, live music, cheap wine, everything we wanted for the first evening of the trip.
