Mrs is going there tomorrow for a couple of days on a business trip?

Anyone been?

Hello

Bucharest is a mixture of luxury and scary poverty. I assume if she is going on business, she will either be staying at the Hilton or the Marriot. Both of which are really nice hotels, with a list price of about $400 a night.

I certainly wouldn't recommend her going out on her own, and some of the taxis have been known to be dangerous.

Not for her: But the women there are quite attractive, and like English men! Just for your information, should you have to go ...

Steve.

err both the Hilton and Marriot are full she's staying at the majestic - it looks ok - proper business hotel and it's on the same road as the office.

Hello

The Majestic looks okay (http://www.majestic.ro/contact.php), the above still applies though. I would get the people she is working with to take her out.

I worked there for a while, going back and forth. But I had some government officials looking after me ...

I stayed at the majestic a few years back. It's pretty good.

Local taxis varied from mercs ( safe / comfortable ) to lada's ( exciting ). There is a good freindly bar if you come out the hotel and take the first left.

I (ahem) second the comments re the ladies....
