Visit York, United Kingdom!

As one of the most aesthetically pleasing and historical cities in the UK, if not the world, York is a great place for a weekend visit.York is a walled city, and is referred to by some as “the UK’s favorite city”. The streets are quintessential “cobblestone” with mediaeval properties displaying a great deal of heritage.

Visit Stonegate, which has the Teddy Bear Shop, containing beautiful hand-crafted bears and stuffed animals. Also on Stonegate is the Evil Eye Bar – rumored to be the favorite bar of actor Johnny Depp. Keep walking along Stonegate and you will reach York Minster. This is the oldest gothic cathedral in Europe, and is a site to behold. You can take a tour of the historical building, and even look out across York from the very top of it.

York Dungeon is a favorite attraction of visitors to the city. There is new “Bloody Vikings” display, and you can go through the darkest depths of York Prison, and other exhibits designed to chill you to your very core. As the website proclaims: The York Dungeon Brings York’s Horrible History to Life.
If you’re interested in the historical aspect of the city, then the Jorvic Viking Museum is for you. This museum will take you back in time to when the Vikings roamed the streets of York. There are many cool exhibits, including “dig” in which you can excavate the remains of York’s Viking history.

At the national railway museum you can see the historic trains and steam engines, and see how the technology has progressed over the course of the last century or so.

Bucharest (Romania)

Bucharest is a beautiful, large and monumental city, and that is the most beautiful European city after Paris by my opinion.Bucharest is a magnificent city of parks, large avenues and beautiful architecture that was built mostly of French and Italian architects. Even has its triumphal arch, slightly less than it was in Paris, but equally beautiful.

While I drive to the hotel I could not hide excitement about the building which we passed. Here’s an example: on the ruins of the building of the former secret intelligence service Securities, was built a modern building of dark green glass which simply fits in. What are not fitting are the dirty streets and cars. Reportedly, there is not enough water drains at the streets and the city is not easy to wash. The city is full of hotels, boutiques, fashion clothing brands and a variety of American fast food chains. The city has 69 hotels, of which 12 with five stars.
Palace of Parliament is the magnificent building. When I saw it I left breathless. Palace of the Parliament is the second largest building in the world, after the Pentagon! Apparently there are 1100 rooms, and how large is above ground, also is large below.  700 architects worked on it. Below the building is located a bunker that was so equipped.

Today concerts are held there. From its large windows you have a view of perhaps the most beautiful boulevard that I have ever seen, Unirii Blvd. Long until the horizon, and with the fountain in the middle. Magnificent sight.
Bucharest is one of the most beautiful cities that I saw. There I was taught to reject all prejudice about anything.
