Welcome to Bucharest
Cheap Flights, Holidays and City Breaks to Bucharest, Romania from Ireland
Are you looking to get away from visiting the usual holiday destinations? If you are, the capital city of Romania, Bucharest should be high up on your to-see-list, and we can offer cheap flights, holidays and city breaks to Bucharest from Ireland all-year round at the lowest available rates.
Bucharest is Romania's largest city and it is located in the southeast of the country on the banks of the Dâmbovita River, which flows into the Argeş River, which is a tributary of the Danube.
On your holidays to Bucharest, visits the city centre where you will find a mixture of medieval, neo-classical and art Nouveau buildings as well as neo-Romanian buildings, which date from the beginning of the 20th Century and a collection of modern buildings from the 1920's and the 1930's. The mostly utilitarian Communist-era architecture dominates most southern boroughs of the Romanian capital.
According to Romanian legend, Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by Bucur, by a shepherd whose name literally means ''joy.'' His magical flute playing dazzled the people and his hearty wine endeared local traders to him. It is local traders who named this place after him.
Bucharest as a holiday destination is well known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, its stunning Belle Époque buildings and it has a reputation for the high life. Today, Bucharest is a bustling metropolis so call us today about our cheap flights, holidays and city breaks from Ireland.
The Romanian capital has a growing cultural scene, unlike other parts of the country, including the Black Sea coast or Transylvania. Bucharest's is a city that has no defined style, and instead it incorporates elements of Romanian and international culture.
The city became the capital of Romania in 1862 and it is the centre of Romanian media, culture and art. The architecture of Bucharest is a mix of neo-classical, Bauhaus and art Deco, Communist-era and modern. In between the World Wars, Bucharest's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned the Romanian capital the nickname of ''Little Paris.''
Even though buildings and local districts in the city's historic centre were damaged and destroyed by war, earthquakes and Nicolae Ceausescu's programme of systematisation, many survived. In recent years, however, Bucharest has been experiencing an economic and cultural boom.
Economically speaking, Bucharest is the most prosperous city in Romania and it is one of the main industrial centres and transportation hubs of Eastern Europe.
There are so many things to see and to enjoy during your holiday to Bucharest. Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) is Bucharest's oldest and arguably most charming street, so check out our great deals on flights, holidays and city breaks to Bucharest from Ireland at affordable fares. It was built in 1692 in order to link the Old Princely Court to Mogosoaia Palace. Since the two World Wars, Calea Victoriei has become one of Bucharest's most fashionable streets.
After visiting Calea Victoriei, make your way to the Arch of Triumph. The Arch of Triumph was initially built of wood in 1922, in order to honour the bravery of Romanian soldiers who fought in the First World War. Bucharest's eye-catching Arch of Triumph was completed in Deva granite in 1936. You will find an interior staircase, which allows visitors to climb to the top of the arc for a panoramic view of the city of Bucharest.
Why don't you stroll along this street from Piata Victoriei to Piata Natiunilor Unite where you will be able to discover some of Bucharest's most stunning buildings, including Revolution Square, the National History Museum and Cantacuzino Palace.
A trip to Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei) should be on the cards for all history enthusiasts. This square in the heart of Bucharest gained worldwide notoriety in 1989 when Nicolae Ceausescu's final moments in power were broadcast around the entire world. One the 21st December 1989, it was here at Revolution Square that Ceausescu stared blankly and in disbelief from the balcony of the former Communist Party Headquarters, at the large numbers of people who had gathered in the square below to see him out of power. Ceausescu fled along with his wife, but they were caught a number of hours later.
You will find the former Royal Palace on the far side of the square, which is now the home of the National Art Museum, the historic Athenee Palace Hotel and the magnificent Romanian Athenaeum.
After the Second World War, the Romanian capital became the capital of Greater Romania. During the inter-war years, Bucharest witnessed continued development, with the city gaining an average 30,000 new residents each year. Some of the city's main landmarks were built in this period, including Arcul de Triumf and Palatul Telefanelor.
The Romanian capital is a city where you will be able to explore the magnificent Bucharest attractions and enjoy all that the Carpathian Garden that is Bucharest, has to offer.
If you'd like to visit other parts of Romania, we can offer cheap Cluj-Napoca flights and holidays, or you could plan a Budapest holiday during your stay in Bucharest.

Bucharest has a transitional climate, with both continental and subtropical influences. Due to its position on the Romanian Plain, the city's winters can get windy, even though some of the winds are mitigated due to urbanisation. Winter temperatures often dip below 0 °C, sometimes even to −20 °C. In the summer, the average temperature is 23 °C (the average for July and August). Temperatures frequently reach 35 °C to 40 °C in mid-summer in the city centre. Although average precipitation and humidity during summer are low, there are occasional heavy storms. During spring and autumn the daytime temperatures vary between 17 °C to 22 °C, and precipitation during this time tends to be higher than in summer, with more frequent yet milder periods of rain.
Romanian food is really quite good. Finding a good restaurant isn't a problem in the Romanian capital. That is for sure. During your thorough inspection of this Eastern European city you will find that the city is packed with some wonderful restaurants, trendy little cafes, bustling bistros and lunchtime spots.
By subway
Bucharest's subway has been accused of being the nicest thing the city has to offer. New, modern, smooth and efficient, it's a pleasant ride despite being overcrowded. The metro system is also pretty simple and straightforward, so you should have little trouble sussing it out. You can even take it out to the airport. Tickets need to be bought in the underground stations and your options are as such: 2 rides for 2 lei or 10 rides for 7 lei (cheap!). Put your ticket in the slot, wait for it to come back out and off you go, but only until 23:00 when they stop running.
By bus and tram and trolley
Bucharest's buses are on par with the subway in terms of modernity and comfort, and for being terribly overcrowded. (Bad traffic generally make the subway a better option.) Most of the city centre is served by these sleek machines which unfortunately only run until about 23:00. Trams and trolleys on the other hand can be excruciatingly slow and antiquated, and likewise stop running by 23:00. In fact, there's really no reason to be on one. The ticketing system for all three is the same: buy a ticket from a nearby kiosk (most busstops should have one) and punch it in the onboard ticket punching machine. Tickets are cheap (1.10 lei); much cheaper than getting caught by one of the all-too-frequent ticket checks and resulting fine (40 lei).
Bucharest cabbies are generally amiable and honest, providing you're employing the services of a professional company and not one of many profiteering privateers. Bucharest's bonafide cabs are all painted yellow and (should) have their prices posted on the door (generally about 2 lei/km or less). Call rather than flag one down and always make sure the metre is running before setting off. Taxis are a sound option, particularly after 23:00 when the buses and subway have stopped running. Many an endless night of drunken wandering in search of the bed we woke up in have been avoided by calling one.

Nor will you have to worry about wandering the streets late at night: Bucharest is an incredible safe city so you won't have to worry about wandering the Bucharest streets late at night.
The Old Town and the district of Lipscani in Bucharest have been revived and it is usually packed with tourists and locals flocking to some of the many bars and cafes.
Shopping is an enjoyable experience in Bucharest. Bucharest's main shopping areas are the shopping centres and malls found throughout the Romanian capital as well as B-dul Magheru and increasingly Calea Victoriei.
There are plenty of stores where you will be able to buy souvenirs. If you are looking for some ideas for gifts, look no further.
Romanian Monopoly
You will be able to find Romanian Monopoly in the streets and districts of Bucharest (placing Primaverii in place of Mayfair). It can be bought for around 120.00 lei in good toy and book stores.
Romanian Folk Costumes and Souvenirs
Most of the handicraft shops in Bucharest sell some kind of Romanian Folk Costume, though the best places to find such items are in the museum shop at the National Peasant Museum.

Self-publishing is no longer a slow, rejection-filled process. Now, you can earn a side income by self-publishing eBooks on Amazon.
It's completely free to self-publish and sell on Amazon.
It's fast. Once you upload your manuscript and eBook details on Amazon you can expect to see it live (and ready to make sales) in 12 hours or less. Plus, you can continually upload revised versions.
Amazon has a large database of customers. And self-publishing on Amazon tends to sell more books than any other platforms. Plus, the amount of eBook sales are growing and outperforming traditional paperback books.
You retain all the rights to your books.
You can earn 70% royalties from your book (if it's priced between $2.99-$9.99). If it's out of that price range expect 35% royalties. Either way, this is much higher than traditional publishers that typically pay 10% or far less.
You have full creative and marketing control. You decide the topics, the length, the style, the pricing, the marketing strategy, etc. There's no one, except your target audience, telling you how to do things.
Amazon also has a decent stats tracker where you can review the sales of each book you've published.
There are other ways to monetize. You can create paperback versions of your book via CreateSpace, narrated versions (Audible), and join in on other Amazon programs (KDP Select) to help increase your earnings.
There's an enormous amount of competition. The ease, speed, and zero cost of publishing has created thousands of competing authors in virtually every fiction and non-fiction genre.
There will be costs involved if you won't be doing everything. If that's the case, you can expect to pay for someone else to write the book (if you outsource), editing, formatting, book cover design, and promotion.
There's no publisher to help you. So you'll need to be in charge of marketing your products, building an audience, managing reviews, book research, book publishing setup, writing the book description, and so much more. I always preach that every opportunity is a process and self-publishing is no different. You can't expect to upload mediocre books and start swimming in passive income.
The first payment you receive will be 60 days after the end of the month.
I actually like self-publishing on Amazon for beginners. No upfront cost and the amount of customers on Amazon makes it beginner-friendly. However, there are some advantages if doing the Digital Flipping methodology instead.
First, there's no upfront cost with Digital Flipping either. But the advantage is you get paid much sooner. Once you close a deal and deliver the work (which you outsource) you'll get paid in 5 days. So if you're beginner that needs to receive your earnings faster this would be a more favorable approach.
Secondly, with Digital Flipping, you don't do the work. You won't be writing, editing, designing book covers, or building an audience. The way Digital Flipping works is, let's say, you find someone that wants an eBook written for $400. You'll then find an expert to do it for, let's say, $150. Then you profit the difference. By the way, you'll only pay the expert once the $400 (that the buyer is willing to pay) is secured in escrow. So this is virtually risk-free. With self-publishing, any investments you make have zero guarantee. You'll have no idea how many books you sell.
Also, with Digital Flipping, there's far less competition. For each deal, you can see how many other people are bidding to win the job. This is, usually, only in the 5-20 people range. At max, 50 people. This is far less than the amount of authors on the Amazon platform. Plus, your competitors aren't usually the best salesmen. So this gives you an advantage because in my course I share word-for-word the proposal script to close lucrative deals.
There are a lot of legit ways to earn a side income. Self-publishing on Amazon is actually a great one. However, if you're an absolute beginner, I'd recommend getting some confidence and building up some funds with Digital Flipping first. Then you can use those funds to outsource writing books on Amazon or any other business. Now, I'll be sharing more advanced and lucrative business courses. But these require bigger investments and experience. And you've got to start somewhere first. Digital Flipping is one of the better options to start with.

The Complete Routine
At the core of Le Domaine skincare is the novel, potent combination of exclusive active ingredients GSM10®* and ProGR3®*.
A unique vision has risen from these two patented* ingredients. More than just offering a line of anti-aging treatments, Le Domaine wants to help slow down the signs of skin aging and give everyone, regardless of gender or skin type, the opportunity to age well.
GSM10® is based on more than 10 years of research by Professor Teissedre on the grape varieties and marcs of the Perrin family vineyards. Made from a combination of marc from Grenache seeds, Syrah seeds and skins associated with a post-biotic micro-organism beneficial to the skin microbiome, this compound has impressively effective levels of antioxidants and anti-MMPs (matrix metallo-proteinases, such as collagenase, which destroys collagen). In addition, GSM10® has been demonstrated to effectively balance the skin.
ProGR3® is the result of research on progeria and its main mechanism: progerin toxicity. A combination of three natural molecules present in plant extracts - vine sarments, camomile and green tea - ProGR3® has scientifically demonstrated its efficacy on the toxicity of progerin, the marker protein of aging. It allows skin to fight against the visible signs of skin ageing and thus age well.

LE DOMAINE : DERIVED OF SCIENCE AND TERROIR TO SLOW DOWN SKIN AGING.
Le Domaine combines the work of Professor Lévy, a world expert on human aging and the research of Professor Teissedre to identify the most potent antioxidants found in grapes. Our GSM10 compound uses ingredients that have a 100% traceable origin to the Vallée du Rhône and are eco-extracted by natural means, directly on the land by the family who has cultivated it for five generations. This results in a standard of efficacy that is unique in the industry, with placebo-controlled clinical trials for the highest levels of accuracy.
