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 the Bay of Kotor in southwestern Montenegro, Zaton is an Adriatic seaside town just a few kilometers from the historic city of Kotor. The town is famous for its two quiet bays "Big Zaton" and "Little Zaton", surrounded by mountains and blue water, preserving the original natural features and simple folk customs. Inside the town, the stone paths wind through the Venetian-style buildings in the old town and the orange trees and palms are a delightful contrast, giving the town a laid-back atmosphere. Zaton is the ideal place to experience "life as a journey": stroll along deserted beaches in the morning, explore the hidden fjords of the Bay of Kotor on a yacht in the afternoon, and enjoy fresh seafood and Montenegrin olive oil dishes in seaside restaurants in the evening. Away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently located, it is an understated jewel on Montenegro's Adriatic coast for travelers looking for a blend of tranquility and nature.
