This year we're trying to visit 100 countries😱 Romania was country 89 on the list and we visited in late June. If you wanna come along for the rest of the journey, hit subscribe🥰 Take care and see you around the world!
Bucharest is ABSOLUTELY worth visiting! Amazing architecture (it's nickname used to be "Little Paris"), great food, friendly people, it definitely has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes you fall in love with it.
Romanian Guys are a lot better in the bad ,with the women, then your man in your country.So better get grafted some Romanian genes.
Oh, you haven't been to Warsaw. When are you going to Warsaw? :) Would love to give some tips
Thank y'all for inspiring me to visit Bucharest and Romania recently. What a gem that place is, I fell in love with the country. Much thanks from Texas.
Guys, the building that you referred to as "the ugliest" (the Tehnoimport tower) is actually a modernist architectural jewel from the interwar period that is in a really bad shape due to decay (it will be restored in a few years (the hotel that you stayed in was in a similar shape until last year). The thing with Bucharest is that, architecture-wise, it's only worth visiting for its huge modernist legacy - which you completely missed but I suppose it's not really your thing.
There appear to be many treasures in Bucharest but, yes, the city is especially graced with a rich modernest legacy. Some buildings can be hard to appreciate when they’re in rough condition. Great to hear the Tehoimport Tower is slated for restoration!
Bucharest is rich in modernism style yes, but we’re forgetting the Brancoveanu style and the neo Romanian style, which both are unique and beautiful
You can actually go into the parliament building, there are guided tours. It's very impressive so I definitely recommend it. 😊
When I visited Bucharest just before covid I could get in to the parliament and had a tour. Shame you've missed it, as it's the world’s second-largest administrative building (after the Pentagon).
Loved this. What a beautiful city❤️❤️❤️
Much love from the United States😊😊😊
You're right about travel being a valuable learning experience. Mark Twain said 'don't tell me where you went to school, tell me where you have traveled.'
Yup, I`m with you on that one Stephen! I can just compare in my own life, before the iron curtain and after. It`s so so different.
I have had many Romanian friends through the years here in the states and I’m so glad you went there so I could finally see it for myself! Great content and video Oskar and Dan!!❤️👍✈️
Greetings from Bulgaria! Romania is a great country. Much more developed and much nicer than Bulgaria in my opinion. But with worse seaside.
Ceausescu was an open mind.He was in USA too many times.He was trying to copy a lot of things.
Bulgaria is like my own country. My dream si that Romania and Bulgaria reunited in a ONE country.
Yea I am so envy of Bulgarias coast thats why so many Romanian tourists go to Bulgaria
@@christian2M Same. Romania and Bulgaria should unite. We are the same peopme
@@stephanthegreat1348 such union would not be accepted by us - Transylvanians.
Bucharest used to look really good, used to be called Little Paris but then it was bombed in WW2, mutilated by the commies by demolishing old buildings and replace them with commie flats and we also had a horrible earthquake in 1977 which did a lot of damage.
So sad😔
Greetings from Bucharest Romania!!
Loved this video! Bought back SO many memories for me! I explored Romania in autumn of 2019 and loved it! You walked exactly on many of the same street as I!! Did you see Van Gogh cafe by any chance? The artwork and ambience was stunning!! And the cool Carturesti bookstore!! So much fun to see! Cheers from Marg again in Australia!!
Thanks Marg😍 Glad you had a good time too!
was there last month, and it is really a beautiful country!!! Recommended to visit !
Romanian from Brașov here! Nicely done video guys! When you said Emily in Bucharest I burst into laughter because Bucharest is nicknamed "Little Paris" due to it's architecture so when you said that I thought about a cheap Romanian spin-off of that show that should be called like "Emilia în București" Anyways, have fun exploring our brothers in Moldova!
Do you think brastov is better than bucaresti? For a foreigner to live
@@guusgeluk3693 I mean Bucharest is a bigger city and the capital. It depends what kind of lifestyle you enjoy more. Brașov is clearly more chill than Bucharest. You can also find jobs in English or German both in the capital and in Brașov so I don't think it is a big problem. Brașov is going to have an international airport soon so it is also an advantage. Plus, it has better public transport than Bucharest and much better trafic. In the end it is up to what you want from a city but Brașov is one of the biggest cities in Romania so there are plenty opportunities even for foreigners.
@@madalinmoraru633 thank you for your in depth response! After looking more into it I think barsov or timisoari will be best for me as bucharest looks very hecthic haha!
I live in Romania, and I tell you that it was a perfect choice to come and visit Romania.🙂😎
You can actually visit the Palace of Parliament. You have to book tickets in advance tho (at least one day)
Buna seara dragilor,sper ca va placut in Romania,sper sa mai reniti la noi,aveti ce vedea si savurati mancarea noastra traditionala inclusiv micii nostri tare gustosi.Goodbeye!
I've been waiting for this! Thank you!
Bucharest will surely be a gem in 10-20 years 🥰 looks amazing
hahahahaha what a joke
@@ravenn1508 it will
Dude it changed so much in like the past 5 years, and it countinues to change more and more
Please visit Iasi next. It is Romania's hidden gem. It's gorgeous and it's a town close to the border with Moldova.
Great video as always. Loved you guys once again.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Mulțumesc pentru un video așa de frumos!!!🌺👍💗
No wonder it's the city with the most new overnight tourists each year.
Appreciate your content Oscar and Dan.Thank you.
Wow, very nice vlog!!!👏👏👏👍🇺🇸🇷🇴
Emily in Bucharest, now that's a spin-off I'd like to see! 😁Somehow I think it would probably face the same backlash as the ''original'' show: ''This show is nothing like the REAL Paris!" 😆
It should be a traveling reality show, Emily in [insert European capital] 😉
@@OskarandDan Yes! Where do I sign up? 😆
@@OskarandDan haha I'd love to see Emily handle the nordic cold lmao
Awesome video , wonderful upload !
Beautiful video ! Thank you Guys !
Bucharest looks gorgeous! I, too, would have fangirled over the fountain! 😍 Umm, also, I had no idea Magnum made vegan ice cream!!!! I'm so stoked to try that! Your travels are giving me so much inspiration for 2023! I can't wait to get out an explore the world next year. I've been grounded for too long haha Looking forward to country 90!
Looks a great place doesn't it!
Proud Bucharester here, subscribed less than one minute into the video. Love your curious, alert, funny AND graceful, well-mannered approach to the places you visit! ❤🌈
13:03 there is amazing airBnB on the top of "that ugliest building in the world". Have stayed there in 2019 😆 quite an experience it was!
Sounds interesting for sure!😄
*WONDERFUL VIDEO !!!*
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I’m Romanian and just wanted to say…
Fan Fact: Soups are actually keeping your body cooler in the summer. And does the opposite in the winter.
We also have the best soups in the world, you can actually taste the flavour and feel the vegetables. We don’t really blend our soups ( ciorba ).
We have those blended ones too but they just very boring, and feels like baby food.
Please next time try a vegetable soup with sour cream.
Beans soups are very good.
I love the white soups and soury ( make sure they don’t sour that with lemon and actually use BORS )
Perhaps I like your videos, keep it up x
Need more description of the vegan food!
🙂
Love that they have ice cream bars.
Hurrah first comment 😂 going to Romania this October (Sibiu) and looking forward to it
I am glad I was not the only one being amazed by this fountain LOL
It's pretty impressive😂
That fountain is illuminated at night like in Dubai
Hahaha, nice vid
Greetings from Bucharest
Great video! Here’s a fun fact: 11:18 you’re standing in front of a pub/bar sort of establishment where all the great writers and thinkers from romania used to spend their nights and drink away. Most of them from between 1900-1950s. Its called Casa Capsa.
Just amazing👍👍👍
Hi Oskar and Dan. Your new subscriber here from India. 👋 Just came across your channel few days ago and I have been binge watching all of your videos since then. 😀 Now I am worried coz I am finishing up watching all videos soon .Please upload new videos soon 😂.Your videos are so fast paced, entertaining, beautiful locations amazing drone shots.Also your editing skills are awards worthy. And you both are so cute. Keep it up guys. Your channel has been a mental therapy for me ☺️
Fantastisk video🇩🇰🙋♂️
ANOTHER GEM VIDEO FROM THE BEST TRAVELERS,,, THE AWESOME DUO. JOHN XOXOXO
Hope you had a great time! :)
Good morning from Chicago u guyz. Wow enjoy it looks pretty cool their. Love ya guyz my favorite CZcamsrs 😍😀😘
Loving the vlog, thanks for sharing!
Visit Pitesti one of the best cities in Romania! King of Sweden was in Arges! 💫
Bucharest is perfect for city break, birthday's party, holyday, so, i want to know the hotel's name, Veronica
Oooh you REALLY need to go to Warsaw! I'd love to watch it.
Hi guys i absolutely love your videos , i'm from Morocco
Thanks for yet another wonderful travelogue dear Oskar and Dan. I really enjoyed it very much. Bucharest appears to have the very best and worst architecture. That horrendous large building that houses their parliament surely must be the very worst of Cucesceau the vile dictator. At least there appears to be lots of fountains as a compensation. Happy landings. Looking forward so much to your next destination. Best always, David
Great video!! Romania🇷🇴 really is a beautiful country to visit I would recommend going to Sibiu as well next time.. also the Romanian language sounds so beautiful.. it sounds like a mix between French and Italian and I'm trying my best to learn it😁 Sa aveți o zi fantastică!!!🇷🇴❤️
As a Romanian I recommend you to visit Sighisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Oradea, Sinaia etc. Depends of your preferences, if you want to visit old cities check those out, if you want to visit Painted Monasteries go to Bucovina or Danube Delta for a relaxing holiday in nature wildlife. We have a lots of beautiful places with stunning views. Top castles: Corvin Castle, Peles Castle, Bran Castle, Rasnov citadel(is under reconstruction)... All the best!
but why they are gypsies? ROmania come from ROma people's name? in Russia we have some too, I always thought they come from other areas not Roma! anyway, their culture is interesting, I think they are the only black race in Europe, a very interesting mix! Kisses from Moscow!
@@aliandrei5967 You're talking bullshit!
The name “Romania” comes from the Latin word “Romanus” which means “citizen of the Roman Empire.” Romania is a latin country with a great history.
@@aliandrei5967 Roma (Gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people and entered Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries C.E. They were called "Gypsies" because Europeans mistakenly believed they came from Egypt.
@@aliandrei5967 No it comes from the Roman empire
Awesome job you what s next country will be ?
7:15 what do you mean? You can visit the Parliament :) you have to call them the day before and make a reservation.
The water in the lake is drained as there are renovations undergoing to the park’s bridges.
Thanks!
Omg thank you so much!!❤️
You should have taken one for the team and visited the gentlemens clubs.
The oldest extant document written in Romanian remains Neacșu's letter (1521) and was written using the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, which was used until the late 19th century. (Bulgarian) But anyway we know we are brothers...
Great video as always 💌 When I travelled to Bratislava this year, a tour guide told us that huge fountains within communist cities were not build to please the people but to make demonstrations nearly impossible because of the missing square to stand on and the noises coming from the fountains. That completely changed my opinion on communist fountains 😂
The communist ones in Bucharest were not that big. They improved them a few years ago.
I think they were built because they looked nice though 😀
@@cristinabb9956 *Yes, my Germany did it ! **czcams.com/video/svo8OfsMGSo/video.html** , and now with 1, 7 Km long, it is the longest fountains avenue of the world,*
I have so many places I would like to visit and learn about in this global community we share. Because I'm still new at this whole traveling thing, it just dawned on me that visiting formally known communist countries might just be a really good visual education for me. Reading about such a topic would completely bore me. Until now all I ever thought about when someone would reference Bucharest Romania was that Michael Jackson performed there back in the 90's. Also that "ugliest building" reminds me of the Capital Records building in LA.
Guys, you should visit Budapest also, and the lake Balaton.
Have fun at the next country
You can go into the parliament building… the modern art museum is also housed there. There aren’t as many flags that you see … it was probably around a national day 😅
oooh!
It's realy beautiful.
Romanian sausage? Dan, my mom watches this channel!
Is it worth visiting early December for 7 days ? Is there a lot to see? Previous day was Rome
Great travel videos on their own merits, but you've also shown me that I can easily travel Europe as a vegan without compromising my values. Thank you for that.
You can get inside the parlament palace but you have to book it in advance
❤
👍👍👍
Hi , guys! is that filmed last summer?
Yes summer 2022!
I hear Sweedish sausage is good too... ;-)
Alice Margatroid ~ The dollmaker of bucuresti
I recall my aunt/uncle going here. The most luxurious and Grand hotel. Looked like a Palace. Walking distance to everything. Any idea what that hotel is?
Loving your vlogs 😍
Thanks😍 We stayed at the Marmorosch!
JW Marriott?
Fountain Vlad something something: standing

Hi
Brașov and Bucharest are different, but they are and we're historically the same country, only separated for a part of the history
I am Scottish, I voted to remain in the European Union. I feel very sad every time I see an EU flag 😪
🏴🇪🇺🇷🇴🤗🤗
😔💔🏴
hug
I’m Welsh, Brexit is a total disaster. Never give up, the UK needs to rejoin and as a non Scot I’m sorry that as a country you were taken out of Europe against your will.😢
get a grip ffs its old nnews move on with your life.
So you did not move too far from the old town .. a bit of a shame ...
Anyone here living in 🇷🇴
Ilavio
"Mans only" 😂
😄😆😀
😂
Bucharest is a rabbit hole 😂😂😂😂
The name of the park is Cișmigiu (promounced cheesh-me- jew)
Well, the communists had fountain building figured out, very impressive.
Yup😂
the ugliest building is pure art tho
If you want to know more about Romanians origin please look at the following link :czcams.com/video/ICuK_y_hJm4/video.html
The fountains from Unirii were inspired from North Korea. (fun fact)
their northern neighbor? yall going to Ukraine?
There's a country in between!
@@OskarandDan most of the northern border is with Ukraine. Moldova is literally to the east lmao
Are you couple bro?
Your google translator of “zazagusca”= zacusca , “romanian polenta”= mămăliga is 🤣🤣🤣
Only Bucharest? Dear , the beauty of Romania isn't in Bucharest
