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.
Toplets is a small, quiet town in the county of Caraş-Severin in southwestern Romania, situated along the Danube River and adjacent to the Serbian border. The town is known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, laid-back pace of life and strong Danube flavor. A stroll through the old town, with its cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses and Orthodox churches, adds a poetic touch to the breathtaking views of the Danube. The region, characterized by traditional crafts and fresh river food, is one of the ideal destinations for exploring Romania's natural and human charms.
