Exploring Bucharest, Romania: More Interesting Than I Expected!
Almost all the places you've been to lately have been spoiled by graffiti on all the buildings. This isn't art, it's destruction.
I know, it's really a shame. Especially on the older historical buildings. It should be considered destruction of property. They need to increase the penalties and get cleaning crews to clean the buildings off.
Street art for life fuck your system A
dirk diggler no I m not trying to say something like this...I m not Greek...tell this to Banksy...
NonyaBusiness! Banksy dislikes your comment
dirk diggler, its not the whole europe like you described but definitely Romania is. I really hate this country, not the land itself, the land is great. I hate the shitty stupid people from here, we were a communist country till 89 but still now there are people with comie mentality. Goverment is corupt as fuck, they stole and sell us out. There is good and nice people too over here though. Im so sorry that life hasent been to fair to me and i could not leave and emigrate and leave this place for good!!
Ban spray paint in the city...
I loved that narrow old "church" building. Bucharest looks gorgeous.
Yeah, a gorgeous dump ! 💩 💩 💩
Here we have a triggered Hungarian that still thinks that Transylvania is Hungary lol
@@ibolyacsonka3959 have You ever seen a romanian not a gypsie in your fucking life?shut up,i am as white as a german,i have green eyes,u must be a dump man or a 13 years old kid
Damn shame the graffiti on those old beautiful buildings.
Yeah, the people who did that should be punished
and they should have a committee to clean that up. If one wants to express themselves, go online now!
You like to draw how bout you buy a canvas or something. Not damage historic buildings. Scumbags. Spray paint your house or yer ass. Buy a legit lot. Artists in america can do it legally.
@jams5309 i agree with the other points here. Whatever you might say about the "urban life" this is property damage. Especially when done on historic buildings. Geneva had designated graffiti areas to avoid such problems. And that would be a good idea since it would create a single space for this and it could be turned into sort of a gallery. Some of the graffiti looks great. But if you draw it on a 250 year old building you should eat that spray tube
As a black British based in the UK with many Romanian friends I totally agree with your point!!!! An educated and well balanced person would never graffiti in a public place and claim that it's art!!!! It's not art its criminal damage!!! An artist would do the grafatti on a canvas and or a sheet of paper!!!! This graffiti is no good to the Romanian people and no good to tourists like me who want to enjoy the beauty of the place!!!!
Hate the graffiti. ..turning old buildings into eye sores
So sad that people have to ruin the beautiful architecture with graffiti . I see it in alot of European vlogs. 😣😕😞😔
I'm Romanian and I get mad when I see graffiti, it looks so ugly and dirty. Authorities should ban graffiti.
Tell that to germans lol. IT was a means of freedom , expression , old building didn't matter when you were in communism . You won't understand
Ce te interesează ca e făcut cu grafiti?... Ce te interesează pe tine asta nu pot sa înțeleg ce te bagi unde nu ți fierbe oala?
@@michaelahass2695 Înțelegi ce spun ma?
I agree with the negative comments about the graffiti. It is ugly. I haven't been to Bucharest, but I saw the same ugly graffiti in Athens. In my opinion it is ruining what could be beautiful cities and shows that the residents don't have pride in their cities. How can the police and the governments allow such a thing?
Edward Taub they don't allow it.I mean,at least,in Romania.It's kind of illegal,but of course there will always be some people who just can't respect some simply rules (or they don't want to)
Edward Taub simple rules*(I think...I hope)
Thank you for your comment. You didn't need to correct your English. I understood what you were trying to say. By the way, I'm an American living in Moldova now and trying to learn Romanian. Your English is a lot better than my Romanian!
we dont have a gouvernment ..
This is better than any professional tour video man.. this is how you get a feel for a city. Thanks for publishing this dude
Cool, glad to hear it.
I’m going to Bucharest in a few months to film and enjoy the city for a while. Thank you for this, Gabriel
Alexander Travelbum My home town, you'll love it!!
Alexander Travelbum watch out may be dogs in the streets...and don't trust GIPSY...
Enjoy Romania. Beautiful country....
I’m visiting Romania ina months time,any friend here to get intouch when I do??
Balaita Nicoleta hope to meet you in a month time when I visit too
Nice video Gabriel..! I like the way you film...without planning and organizing...but just spontaneously taking the streets!! Keep traveling and inspiring people ;)
Was gonna write ‘first’, but then did some serious reflecting on what I am doing with my life
d.j. mexecution yeh this comment was much better
I spend alot of time in Romania..So many beautiful cities and villages to see. I agree , such a shame beautiful beautiful buildings are covered in graffiti..nice video..thanks for posting
It's funny when foreigners are saying 20$ is a great deal here on food. It's actually not cheap for us, you actually went to some expensive restaurants :)) Safe travels :D
20 $ sunt cam 83 de lei gasesti și mai ieftin
Mancarea asta ii costa pe ei peste 80$ in State.
@@lucabrazzi5755 cum sa ii coste ba,peste 80 dolari pe an?
@@AndreiGuna am corectat. Happy holidays!
"Aaaand another old church...and more graffiti." Noticing a trend on your walk. ;^) The Romanian food looks incredible. Great video as always, Gabriel. Really appreciate what you do!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure, scouting out the city. Love this vlog - great architecture, but the graffiti takes away from the beauty of Romania. I'd hope that perhaps they'll take more pride in their country and city, in the future. (The "artists" who have trashed the buildings should take their art inside, and put it on the walls of their own apartments, if they like it so much! )
Gabriel traveler one of the best traveller channel love 2 watch yr video
Thanks Rahul.
Awesome video!!! I’m from Romania 🇷🇴 was born there...I remember the cold winters in Bucharest growing up...nice to see it again...last time I was there was 2004
That city looks very interesting. I love to travel too and am a single person but I usually travel with my sisters or my grown children. There are advantages to traveling alone. Your day is your own. But I do not think I would be brave enough to travel to a foreign country by myself. I admire you for doing it though and love to travel through your channel.
having low expectations?.... the city was called the PARIS OF THE EAST! that's why they had a Arc de Triumph made in the center!
I haven't heard a lot about Romania, and I hadn't heard any other travelers recommend Bucharest before. Romania just isn't as well known of a country in Europe as other places. Especially if you're from the United States then most of eastern Europe is off the radar. That's one of the reasons I'm here is because it's cool to see countries that you don't know much about.
if you want a little help and save a lot of your travel time, then you will find bunch of free guides there.
also they are a lot here, in your channel, just ask.
I am from Bulgaria, but Romania is also very nice country! And it ist true - Bucharest is called "Paris from the Balkans". Because the architecture is very similar to Paris. Romanian language is the same group as french and italian.
yogiaol Romania has nothing to do with the Balkans. Bucharest was called the Little Paris or the Paris of the East
What? Learn geography! Where is the Danube delta??? South from Karpats iclusive Bucharest are on the Balkans. Why you shame you to be from the Balkans? There are much better and richer countries (Greece...) than you "East European Paris" and Romania. It is not bad to be from Balkans. And Romania is on the Balkans. It is a fact.
It’s been about 9 years since I’ve been in Romania, the graffiti really annoys me and makes me sad at the same time...
Pity about the graffiti. Image quality is amazing.
I was born and raised in Bucharest and all mayors failed to protect the city from graffiti addicts.
It's easy, just clean more than 1 time in a 5 years
When I went to Bucharest in 1992 I did not like it. I returned a year ago and really liked it. Big improvements and food was great. The old town is nice. Full of restaurants.
Nice but the grafitti ruins everything
[Memedoze] Also, the thing about graffiti is the longer it stays on the building, more graffiti artist will add to it and the adjacent buildings.
The only way to keep a handle on it is to remove it the first day it appears and repeat until the offenders go elsewhere.
This method has been proven to work. But, it looks like they don't care to remedy the problem.
Greenest Hue I agree. But, not on historical buildings. I will say that Ljubljana, Slovenia has some really awesome graffiti, especially on their trains☺
Greenest Hue I know,I like works of graffiti too,but I don't like it when it's on historical buildings
Global Adventurer that's because the Romanian Government is corrupt
don't go to Berlin
There is SO MUCH more of Bucharest than what you showed us, but nice video.
Ferentari?
@@roverwaters3875
😂😂😂
Thanks for video, I am a Romanian, our city and country are wonderful, waiting all of u to visit it! ❤💛💙
the colors of the city match the sky! the architecture is amazing!
Tina Marie Farmer thank you, if only those young kids would stop that grafitti shit...
yea amazing architecture shame the country sucks in general...if i could i would abandon romania in a heartbeat and never look back....romania is only fun if you're a rich tourist but if you're born and live here it sucks... this country is a fucking joke trust me.... architecture means nothing
Grenambo 91 i do understand. im a local in Virginia Beach Virginia. they passed laws against locals hanging out so tourist money is top priority.
yes its really sad. they should start a 'contest' or something. distract people into taking their art somewhere else. like you can only perform your stuff if you don't tag anywhere illegal. if i owned a business like these amazing places..i would donate a few bucks toward saving my shit. i guess im coming from having been a mom to toddlers and teens. if theyre are screwing up sometimes it better to redirect than fight it out with irrational people. my opinion of course. Virginia Beach has no graffiti but they paid local artists to join up and paint stunning murals. most graffiti is shit but alot of people have talent they dont have a way to express
Dangercore
You suck, not the country... You don't understand anything...
Cant believe they graffited the front of that magnificent building 🙈
after 40 years of comunism when every was limited, specially the freedom of speech..,we got freedom directly, its like being hungry and not eat 1 month and then someone come and gives you everything you want to eat, imagine what you will do with all that food.., hapened with the freedom in our country, we recived freedom to instaly, the impact was brutal on the society, the graffiti shows aswel the voice of the ppl who hate the corupted system..
Cred ca a fost mai mult ideea de exprimare libera. In plus, noile generatii au crescut pe o altfel de cultura improvizata de la straini, de cand cu internetul.
Cred ca doar trebuie sa montam pereti speciali pentru graffiti ca sa nu se mai vandalizeze cladirile.
Alex Pop eu cred ca ar trebuii sa stergi comentup
are on the windows of an old store, I do not understand what looks so magnificent to you
Looks like you got that winter you were wanting to experience.
Great vid. Keep em coming
Welcome to Romania .
Thanks.
Gabriel, you are awesome! Just dropped by to say hello and that we have been watching you for years! 🙌🏼 Safe travels!
Cool, thanks.
Thanks Gabriel I always enjoy your videos!
Gabriel Morris is the one of the best traveler of the world... I am your biggest fan..
I love ur video n I love Romania very very interesting country
you should come visit Romania in the summer time because the mountains, the sea, the danube is more interesting in the summer than winter
Lovely snow, Architecture, pigeons , graffiti... Annnnddd you 😊😀❤
Winter is the worst season to visit Romania ! It's grey and there are no people around ! Try the summer ! It's sunny and very lively !
The tango and thouse building remind me to buenos aires in Argentina!
The building in the back when you are viewing the church at min 7:55 is actually the building that hosted the last speech of Ceasusescu. From that building he flew with an helicopter and this is how Romanian revolution started in Bucharest (few days after Timisoara )
This was an excellent video man. Really enjoyed it looked relaxing.
You should come in the summertime. Bucharest during winter is pretty depressing...
Loves his entertainment posters, smoothies and architecture.
Wonderful as always...blessings for your travels...
That old church was so impressive, such a unique building. Don’t get sick Gabe, stay warm!
I keep watchin' your your travels. You should have gone to the old town in Bucharest i think it's Lipscan, plenty of bars and restaurants. I am in the U.K but i really
want to be somewhere else at the minute. I think i will be going to Romania again soon maybe Sighisoara. Cheers Gab
The next video is filmed in the old town. :)
You will like this place.Best wishes!
This Winter visit doesn't show Bucharest in it's best light. I visted in May 2019 and it was a wonderful city. Sure, a bit rough around the edges but fascinating architecture and beautiful parks. There was a fantastic light show in the fountains of the main square. And if you like night life it's full on in your face with plenty of themed bars and dancing girls (and guys) to entertain you. If you visit try a day's trip going north to the lakes which is the Romanian holiday resort area. The Communist era palace where the revolution started is spectacular. Unfortunately the Romanian airforce museum and Ceaușescu's house were closed when I visited. And it's cheap for accommodation, food and beer.
Great vlog man! Love the vibes there
Beautiful! Amazing.
I really like your videos! Keep up the awesome work, Gabriel! :D
Thanks. I really like Slovenia.
Bucharest looks cozy and cool place to live
Very big and busy city... I was there in the summer...
i mean i know its not the best but you cant generalize, i know that there are a lot of rude people but there are also a lot of good ones and, and just because the noisy and rude ones are louder doesnt mean they are a majority
I find it to be like the Berlin of the east, crazy diverse architecture with crazy young people and very different from other "bohemian" cities of Europe.
AJ Dude, I think you don't know what are you talking about !💩 💩 💩
You must be picking expensive restaurants. I don't think a meal cost us more than $10 in all of Romania.
It was delicious!
I'm sure it was. All the food I had there was. But just to expensive. Romania is one of the poorest European countries. You should be able to get food for cheap. We had pizza at a stone fire pizza place there for less than $4 for a pretty large pizza.
Rex McArtor it's about quality my friend...sure u had a cheap pizza but if you want a good tasty proper quality steak you have to pay something more even in Romania....besides you can find expensive places in poor countries and the opposite...it's called capitalism...rich and poor are everywhere
I just walk around and find restaurants randomly. So if they're cheap great, if they're a little more expensive then it's not that expensive here anyway. In this case I walked out of my apartment, went right and had to walk quite a ways past pizza places and kebab places, etc. because I wanted to find a restaurant serving Romanian food. That was the first one I came to, after walking for quite a while, so I was glad to find it. Sure I could grab some pizza or whatever on the street for cheap but I want somewhere nice where I can take a seat for a while, get a beer or wine and work on my computer, that isn't a fast food restaurant.
I dont remember the name. Yhay have a dessert which looks like lactating breasts. I recommend it. It was very good.
Intrepid explorer are you. I share your amazement of discovery because you never pretend to be better informed. So it is a wonderful discovery made real.
Thank you for taking me along@
Thanks for the great video. I am going there soon, some tips for must see places? Except the traditional tour guide and mainstream places? Thnks!
Check out my playlist of Romania videos to see everywhere I went:
th-cam.com/video/Dw0q6WYMaq0/w-d-xo.html
Hard to believe the extent of the tacky graffiti just anywhere and about everywhere there. Interesting walks. I'd say the vampires are holing up indoors keeping the blood warm so there isn't much culture to experience in Winter.
Great video Gabriel. I was there in the summer and it is beautiful country.
Wow very very interesting..keep it up. Good luck!!
i never watched or subscribed on travel vlogs.But your videos are great and I'm watching them gladly.Subscribed :D
ToxaKastela, thanks.
Horia R, hope you got my message, sorry I didn't get the chance to meet up in Bucharest.
Your wishes fulfilled; Cold, wintry, wet, slippery; YAY! Thanks Gabe for all the detail! New impressions to many I'm sure.
0:01 Tripping out on stuff haha... of course the white powder is everywhere in the video,,,,, oh i mean snow
Wich of the eastern countrys of europe do you like the most, Gabriel?
Bulgaria
yogiaol and why?
BEcause I am from Bulgaria and because Bulgaria is very nice :-)
yogiaol it's nice but not with such an amazing cultural background and beside that you where occupied by the ottomans for more then 500 years left a huge fingerprint.
Very nice video. I love these churchs
Yoo man, i was born in 1993 in Bukarest and never there again sadly, since 1996. Thank you and be blessed dude🙏
The Little green tomatoes are called “gogonele”
Unfortunately a very bad time to travel! The spring started with a cold and snowy cyclone from Siberia, which also affected the islands of the Adriatic Sea.
As he was in Bulgaria, was perfekt nice weather, between two cold waves - after the big snow from the end february and before the new snow from the days as Gabriel was in Romania. It was a cold week with snow also in Bulgaria on the end of march.
are you coming to cluj-napoca?
some girls around my neighborhood in Chicago are from Cluj. they're great
You should't miss the old town and People's Palace and also the village museum!
Cine e roman sa dea like
City of Graffiti! Fortunately the Cars were spared! Haha
But not the trains. All the parked trains get tagged with graffiti and CFR doesn't bother to remove them.
It isn’t city of graffiti and is the bad side of Bucharest which are the outskirts . my home city is more beautiful than what he showed in this video the statue which he showed in the video is of Mihai Viteazu before Romania was united as one country.Bucharest is also nicknamed little Paris
@@ionescuflorin7307 Why will they brother if its working doesn't needs to look good
Please Romanian artists, don't paint so much graffiti. Can you please make everyone such a favor?
For anyone traveling to Bucharest you may want to try the free walking tour. There is one in Brasov too
Rick Steves did all that graffiti . He wanted to ruin everything for those who came later.
Rick steves rules🤟
Some of those old church's in the city center were amazingly lifted and moved on rails out of the path of Ceausescu's destruction when the parliament, grand boulevard and apartment blocks were erected.
8:23 the signs say to turn off your phone, wipe your feet and close the door, doesn't say anything about cameras.
Haven't seen this channel since 20K, nice to see that you've improved a lot.
Cool.
Really enjoying these videos!
Across the street, in front o Carol I statue was the Royal Palace .
Gabriel please visit Romania again in the summer...its way better and more stuff to do plus you need to check out Romanias Black Sea beaches and resorts like Mamaia or Vama Veche, amazing nightlife, beautiful topless women, and nice open sprawling beaches unique to Romania...only place like it in the Balkans.
Being in Bucharest in the Winter....Gabe Man!? Dont come to BELGRADE IN WINTERTIME....come from April to August in our Main City than it is really COOOOL! Anyway I love our Neighbour with their MainCity but also in the SPRING OR Summmertimme, Gabriel or Mr. Morris.
The tagging on these or any buildings is so sad they should be jailed if caught doing it makes it look like crap
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Now thats a fair bit of snow!
10:44 Russian style building!? That is full 101% baroque ...
I have been binge watching your videos for 2 hours. I have to say I developed motion sickness a bit now. Great content though.
I would highly recommend you have a good tour of Porto and northern portugal the food, architecture, castles and the historic churches and monuments. The weather obviously alot warmer than Bulgaria and Romania.
There is no snow every march in Bulgaria and Romania. In this year for the first time since 8 years. Normally there is snow from end of December to mid February. Normal weather in March is 10-15 degrees and no snow.
4:17 the problem with pigeons is that although you feed them, they like to shit on your head lol..
i was in there. lovely city
This is great. I love how you're filling in info with the subtitles. Here in LA, some people paint graffiti on waterfalls. Its REALLY bizarre. On another note, have you ever been to Lumbini, Nepal?
Jesse, yes I did go to Lumbini actually:
th-cam.com/video/dSStPTnvzfw/w-d-xo.html
Not really a must-see place, especially since it's a long ways out of the way from Kathamndu or Pokhara. However if you're crossing the border from Nepal to India or vice versa then it's on that route, so it's worth stopping there.
Gabriel Traveler We were there in 2014 too. I want to go back because so many of the temples were under construction. I'd love to see the finished product. It's kinda like Buddha Disneyland with all the temples from the different countries.
Man , I am from Romania , you should visit Bucharest in summer , it's more beautiful in that time
mica vlad Frumos? Ce vrei sa vada? Sa moara in poluarea masinilor?
Carol "One", really ? Do you say Henry eight or Elisabeth two of Great Britain ?
And... This is where I'm from. XD I hate it there in the winter.
Just a few linguistical games. Travelling might sharpen your perception in the understanding of terms. Romania, Italy, Spai, Portugal, France have a Latin Background. As English is a mixture of Latin and other influences (thought Celtic), you might recognize a lot of terms. School becomes école in French, escuela in Spanish. You might develop more linguistical senses than you are aware of. So good luck, keep following your vids. Also follow similar vids Jojo Aigner, nomadic fire and Alex Travelbum.
Very nice video bro ✌✌✌
Good Job 👏🏼
good job
funny thing you might not know - in statuary depictions, if the horse has only one hoof off the ground, the person died of natural reasons/old age. If the horse is standing upright on two legs, the person died in battle. Thought I mentioned that, as he was looking at the statue of Carol :)
I see, thanks.
Go and visit at least the dracula castle in castle bran. 2 hours from bucharest, there is nothing to see in romania anyway and you can see more snow in castle bran
I'm in Brasov now and probably going to the Dracula Castle tomorrow.
Vendeta V you serious. ?nothing to see. !
The square he was walking around near is church is called Piata Koldaciscu
I'm surprised you haven't gotten the urge to splurge on a couple of cans of spray paint. You've gone from smoothies to cheesecake. You're going to have to start jogging in your videos. Keep on truckin!
You have to visit Constanta and Bucharest in summer.Its beautiful 👏
I’m glad you enjoyed the city, but I would argue it’s a bit better in the summer. :)
