Bucharest, the capital and largest city of Romania, is located in the middle of the Danube River Plain in the southeast of the country and is a political, economic and cultural center. The historic city is a blend of Orthodox, Byzantine and French flavors, and was once known as "Little Paris". The old town has preserved medieval buildings and Orthodox churches, while the iconic Palace of the Parliament (now the Palais des Congrès), the world's second-largest administrative building, is an imposing sight. As the economic hub of Romania, Bucharest has a vibrant and diverse mix of industrial, technological and service companies, as well as universities and cultural institutions.
Located in Clinton County, Vermont, USA, Bakersfield is a quiet town of about 300 people in northern Vermont, close to the Canadian border. Founded in 1787, it retains a quintessential New England countryside, with farmland, forests and rolling hills dominating the landscape, and four distinct seasons, with pleasant snowy winters and cool summers. The town is small but full of community, with most of the locals making a living from agriculture and small-scale tourism, and nearby natural attractions for hiking, skiing, and bird-watching, such as Mount Bakersfield and the Black River. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is the ideal place to experience traditional Vermont country life and natural beauty for travelers seeking peace and a slower pace to explore.
