Between the dreary Communist-era apartment blocks are Byzantine buildings, centuries' old churches and Art Nouveau mansions that stand out as the survivors of earthquakes, war and communism. Look more closely at one of the most promising capitals in the European Union and further charms will be revealed (…) There are pristine city parks, excellent museums and gritty yet charming lanes that weave through the Old Town. Once the palatial residence of Wallachian princes, including Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler who inspired Bram Stoker's tale of Dracula, the Old Princely Court has always had royal connections.”
