No supermarket can replace the charm of personal contact with a vendor or the excitement of an unpredictable purchase at the main Rijeka market, known as Placa. It developed in the 19th century, next to the seashore, right by the wooden pier where the local fishermen used to unload their catch and carry it in baskets to be sold at the market.

In addition to being the centre for Bucharest’s intellectual and political events and the most popular meeting place in the city, the University of Bucharest has a dramatic history. During the 1989 Revolution, some of Romania’s fiercest fighting took place here. Close by you can find the University of Bucharest’s School of Architecture, the National Theatre, the Coltea Hospital and the Sutu Palace History Museum. A Christmas market is held at the University Square every year, but you can find excellent restaurants and cafes in the area all year round.

Built in the 13th century, the Saint Petri Cathedral is one of the iconic symbols of Bremen, with its two soaring towers visible from almost everywhere in the city. The basilica is open to the public to discover the treasures of the Cathedral museum. Also, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the city from one of the towers. Last but not least, you can descend into the cellar, known as 'Bleikeller,' to view the authentic mummies on display there.
