Ia has a simple cut, and is usually white and made of hemp, flax cotton or silk, over which geometrical or floral motifs are embroidered in colored threads.Motifs differ from one region to another. The used ornaments, colors and materials represented a social mark, age, marital status, religious affiliation and place of origin within the country. There is also a day dedicated to the celebration of this shirt, namely the 24th of June. 🧆 Mititei/mici - (both Romanian words meaning "little ones", "small ones") is a dish from the Romanian cuisine, consisting of grilled ground meat rolls in cylindrical shape made from a mixture of pork/beef/lamb with spices such as garlic, black pepper, thyme, coriander, anise, savory, and sometimes a touch of paprika; often served with french fries, mustard and pickled vegetables.

Best located hotels, earthquake proof, for all budgets when visiting Bucharest!

It is impossible not to notice the beautiful architecture of this city and while some buildings were indeed designed by French architects, most of them were built by Romanian architects, educated at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris during its prime decades. The elite was sent to Paris to study and later they returned to Bucharest and brought with them a Parisian lifestyle as well. In this guide, I share with you some of the places where you can go back in time and enjoy the spirit of the Belle Epoque, see art pieces from past centuries and have a coffee or a delicious meal in between visiting and shopping for vintage items.
