The Hidden Gem of the Balkans

My sensors were captivated by the eclectic architecture, a mix of Art Nouveau, neoclassical, and communist-era buildings. The city's history is rich, from its ancient origins as a Dacian settlement to its transformation into a modern European capital. I was especially fascinated by the Palace of the Parliament, the second-largest administrative building in the world. Despite its dark past, Bucharest's vibrant culture and friendly locals made me feel welcome. I compared this city to others I've visited and found it to be a unique blend of Eastern and Western European influences.
