After 50 years of Communism and 20 odd years of transition, Bucharest is never short of abandoned urban beauty.
The renovation of 19th or early 20th century historical buildings – viewed a as symbol of upper class domination by socialist authorities – was never considered a priority by the governments of post-communist era.
Recommended gear: a proper outfit, comfortable footwear and, obviously, the camera.
