Peles Castle in Sinaia, Romania against a sunny blue sky

Peles Castle | Sinaia, Romania

Today I woke up with memories of our trip to Peles Castle in Sinaia, Romania. I thought about a photo that I had taken but never processed. So I went through the hard drives and to my astonishment, I discovered that the trip was already ten years ago! Incredible how time flies. So I quickly […]

St. Anthony's Church in the city centre of Bucharest, Romania at sunset

St. Anthony’s Church | Bucharest, Romania

St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest is said to be the oldest building in Romania that has mostly retained its original shape. The church is believed to have been built in the 1650s during the rule of Prince Mircea Ciobanul.   St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest stands just down the street from the Voivode’s Palace. In […]

Peleș Castle in Sinaia during a sunny day

Peleș Castle | Sinaia, Romania

After our long way down from the Bucegi Mountains, we were pretty exhausted and just wanted to find a pub to finish the day with a well-deserved beer. But when we came to a parting of the ways (one toward the town and the other one had “castle” written on it) we just had to go the extra mile. And as so often, we got rewarded for it. The Peleș Castle (Castelul Peleș) is a real beauty in the Romanian
The Old Town of Bucharest is full of contrasts. Ruins and poverty in the Romanian capital right next to hotels and luxury.

City of Contrasts | Bucharest, Romania

When I prepared myself for the trip to Romania, I often stumbled upon the word “contrasts” connected to Bucharest. How often can you drink a (surprisingly expensive) beer in front of a ruin? This photo is taken right in the Old Town of Bucharest and I think you get a feeling for what I mean with “contrasts”. Just a few streets further they build a new 5-star Hotel.
The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest on a sunny day

Palace of the Parliament | Bucharest, Romania

The Palace of the Parliament, the biggest building of Europe, you will inevitably pass once you’re in Bucharest. The immense building stands at the end of the long and wide Unirii-Boulevard and it is hard to show its size on a photo. The Palace is so big that I had problems to capture it in a single photo even with my wide-angle lens.
Memorial of Rebirth in Bucharest. The memorial reminds of the 1989 Revolution in Romania.

Memorial of Rebirth | Bucharest, Romania

The Memorial of Rebirth (Memorialul Renaşterii) reminds the bloody revolution against the Ceausescu regime in Bucharest in December 1989. Even though the idea of the memorial obviously enjoys wide popularity, the memorial itself had to face critical voices asking whether or not that is the best way to honour the heroes of the revolution. Due to […]

Bucharest’s Palace of the Parliament – Ballroom | Romania

Bucharest’s Palace of the Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului) was pretty much the only thing that crossed my mind when I saw cheap flight offers to Romania. We wanted to explore a new country and Bucharest sure sounded interesting. When I booked the tickets I didn’t know much about Romania, but a short look at the history on Wikipedia […]
