Is a name that’s over time been given to many cities in Eastern Europe and beyond. But, the city that comes closest from all the ones I’ve seen so far is… Bucharest, the capital of Romania 🇷🇴 Bucharest is a city that not many people would think of first when they’re planning a city trip or a holiday. That should change in my opinion! Let me tell you why… When we compare Bucharest to, in this case Paris, it has some objective facts that make it better than the city of love. For example, affordability. Paris is, as well all know, incredibly expensive. Even if you manage to find a way to not get tourist trapped, the prices are still high. Bucharest is 59% cheaper than Paris in terms of restaurants, accommodation, and general costs of living. Then there’s safety. On Numbeo Paris has a crime index of 57,96 while Bucharest’s crime index is 28,13. That’s a difference of 51%… In my experience Bucharest is also cleaner and more friendly to travelers in general than Paris. Of course, Paris is Paris. You have to visit it at least one time in your life. Actually in recent years I’ve come to appreciate the city more and more. But, I think cities like, in this case Bucharest, also deserve some recognition. What do you guys think?
