About Bucharest
Bucharest is Romania's capital, with a population of over 2.3 million. It is rich in culture and history. Founded more than 500 years ago, it is a natural starting point for visits to the country. During the 1930's its tree-lined boulevards and fin de siecle architecture earned it the nickname the "Little Paris." There is even an Arc de Triomphe on the handsome Soseaua Kiseleff, itself longer than the Champs Elysees and alive with blossom in the spring. Despite the massive reconstructions of the 1980s, Bucharest remains a Garden City, leafy and pleasant, with pavement cafes open in the warm summer, and boating on its lakes and rivers.

Giurgiu is the capital city of Giurgiu County, Romania in the region once called Vlasca. It is situated amid mud-flats and marshes on the left bank of the Danube. Three small islands face the city, and a larger one shelters its port, Smarda. The rich corn-lands on North are traversed by a railway to Bucharest, the first line opened in Romania, which was built in 1869 and afterwards extended to Smarda.
Vidin is situated in the northwestern-most corner of Bulgaria, at the expansive elbow of the Danube, the grand river which runs through nearly all Western Europe to empty its waters into the Black Sea. The town takes pride in its history, development and traditions. Today Vidin continues to be the venue of extremely beneficial circumstances for foreign trade thanks to its geographical position, natural endowments, economy, history and culture. The town occupies a major place in the national transport system of Bulgaria, which proved decisive in the establishment of the Free Trade Zone. The town is the meeting place of all types of transport - river-going, rail, automobile and air transport. The town also has a direct ferryboat service to and from Romania handling rail cargo, trucks, buses and motorcars, as well as the passage of tourists and a variety of commodities.
Vidin Attractions
One of Bulgaria's oldest riverside towns, Vidin houses the only medieval Bulgarian castle that is entirely preserved. The Bulgarian fortress dates back to the 13th century and is called "Babini Vidini Kuli" (Granny Vida's Towers). Vidin is largely an agricultural and trade center, renowned for its wines.
The Western Carpathians are the lowest of the three ranges and are fragmented by many deep structural depressions. They have historically functioned as "gates," which allow easy passage but can be readily defended. The most famous of these is the Iron Gate on the Danube.
Iron Gate Attractions
A spectacular narrow gorge between the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains, the Iron Gate is one of Europe's most dramatic natural wonders. In 1972, a hydroelectric dam was completed aiding in river navigation.
The City of Belgrade is the founder, financer and organizer of many regular annual cultural events. Most of the authors from all fields of culture and art live and work in Belgrade, the center of culture and art of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Belgrade has also hosted the famous world authors and performers in the fields of music, theatre, film. The only Serbian Nobel laureate, Ivo Andri, has created some of his greatest literary works right here, in Belgrade.
More than 1,000 years old, Kalosca is a quaint town filled with culture. Famous for its paprika, more commonly known as "red gold," the town boast's the world's first Paprika Museum.
