Every year, the level of crime just seems to subside year after year, regardless of the fact that there are frequent political turmoils and demands for change of government representatives and policies.

Great nightlife

Some parts of Bucharest are packed with nightclubs, casinos, bars, and terraces – everything needed for bustling nightlife. Popular nightclubs like Gaia Boutique Club, Expirat, and Control regularly host performances and concerts by international DJs and local musicians. If you are a party animal then Bucharest is the best place to be in because many trashy yet incredibly contagious hit songs stemmed from Romania.

Lipscani District is the perfect starting point for a night of pure unadulterated fun. Apart from the solidified status as the Old Center of the city – it is a popular entertainment hotspot resting close to the grandiose Herastrau Park bisected by the Colentina River.
