Architecture. Bauhaus Traces.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We were really looking forward to Bucharest. Even though I had no idea what to expect. But at least it would be a big city. We survived Cairo by bicycle and experienced great things. We learned to love Bangkok, cycling through the city with all its traffic chaos and contrasts. Now we were excited about the capital of Romania, Bucharest. All those we told about our anticipation couldn’t quite comprehend it. “Bucharest, the old town, is beautiful, but otherwise it’s not worth it” they kept saying. A Moloch, too much traffic, too loud, too dirty, we were told.
How good that we went to the city with these expectations. It turned out quite differently.
The traffic is orderly, cyclists are welcome on the footpaths, the city is clean (cleaner than Berlin, but that’s probably not too difficult) and the variety of architecture is gigantic. Certainly, there is still a lot to do. Many beautiful houses stand empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
