Today, Bucharest is a vibrant, lively capital that caters to any curiosity and need. It is the center of Romanian media, culture, and art, showcasing a mix of medieval, neoclassical, and Art Nouveau architecture reflected in beautiful landmarks (the Palace of Parliament, the Arch of Triumph, the Romanian Athenaeum) and parks (Herăstrău Park, Cișmigiu Garden).
