Romania is praised and recommended by The Guardian for its bears, bisons and biodiversity.

You don’t have to fly to southern Africa to go on safari – Romania is one of the best places in Europe to see large mammals in the wild. The country has seven million hectares of forests – a significant proportion is ancient virgin woodland – and is home to the continent’s largest populations of brown bears, as well as wolves and lynx.

Also, Andrei Blumer, the president of the Association of Eco-Tourism in Romania offered a clearer picture of what is happening in Romania in terms of eco-tourism: “There are challenges but ecotourism is growing organically here and lots of small-scale ethical businesses are opening, using local guides and produce, with the money staying in the community”.

Romania remains one of the hidden gems of Europe in terms of unknown destinations and activities to be done in a holiday, but publishers like The Guardian or CNN Travel reveal some of these to their readers.

Romanian Palace of Parliament’s value is USD 1,2 B, as set by the Romanian Parliament, which is a huge value especially when you think of the times back in 1990 when the Romanian people wanted to destroy the building. They saw it as a symbol of communism.

Now, 30 years later, The Guardian dedicated an article to this Bucharest landmark, article which concludes that Romanians came to terms with the building 30 years after the fall of communism. The journalists’ opinion is supported by the construction of the National Cathedral right next tot the Palace. In their view, this is something which translates as “we can’t tear it down, let’s build something bigger”.

In our opinion, the building of the cathedral in the close proximity of the Palace of Parliament has nothing to do with erasing somehow the memory of communism, nor with avenging the destruction of those 3 churches in order to build the Ceausescu’s People’s House. Both buildings have different meanings and their construction was decided in different moments of the Romanian history, not related anyhow with the other.
