This is a popular online restaurant in Bucharest. The interior looks like a German beer house. It has home-brewed beer, which tastes quite authentic, but it is still a little bit worse than German beer. The bread of the bread and bean soup was over-burned, the bean soup was very little, and the taste was just average. I went there to drink beer in the afternoon before leaving Bucharest. I didn't order any big dishes. I looked at the roasted pork elbow ordered by the next table, which was over-burned and blackened. I really didn't have an appetite. This is a good restaurant in the local area, but the gap with the German standard is still quite large.
it’s a really historic place..wonderful restaurant full of history and typical dishes

It is actually a concert hall located in the center of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. It is also one of the landmarks of Bucharest because it was built in 1888 and designed by a French architect. It is really beautiful. If there is a concert, it is definitely worth entering to appreciate it and savor this beautiful neoclassical building. Both the exterior and interior are magnificent. Listening to a wonderful concert in such an elegant art hall will be a double enjoyment of vision and hearing.

King Mihai I Park, also known as Herăstrău Park, is a serene oasis in the heart of Bucharest, offering a delightful escape from the urban bustle. Its expansive green lawns, picturesque lake, and charming walking trails provide a perfect setting for relaxation and outdoor activities. The park's meticulously maintained gardens and the majestic Village Museum are simply enchanting. Whether you're strolling along the waterfront or having a picnic, Herăstrău is a beautiful, rejuvenating gem in the city.
The best time to feed seagulls is November to March of the next year. The park is free and no tickets are required... The bread for seagulls is ten yuan. There is also a small train for sightseeing. Next to the park is the ethnic village. The weather in Kunming is very good. The sky is very blue. Almost all the big sun but the temperature difference between day and night is big. Still have to wear more, it is suitable for cities with parents to travel together.
