If Bucharest alone has not provided enough contrasts, get on that odd commuter train, minibus, van or, huh, taxi (better ride a bike) and explore the countryside around the city. Fine palaces, secluded monasteries, serene villages and plenty of that already familiar (but not only familiar) unexpected, all are waiting for you.
Cheers and keep a map / GPS in hand.
