One of the few areas in Bucharest to survive the Ceaușescu years, the Lipscani neighbourhood is an authentic area in the rapidly changing Romanian capital.
While much of Bucharest consists of grey apartment blocks which look pretty depressing and monotonous after being built on the ruins of old quarters, one area of the capital city survived the Ceaușescu years and time. The historic quarter of Lipscani is constructed where Prince Vlad Țepeș (better known as Dracula) built a citadel, of which you can still see some remaining ruins. While much of the city was rebuilt during the Ceaușescu dictatorship, bulldozering away entire quarters of the city and even moving some buildings to other places, the historic quarter is still there. The Revolution of 1989 was on time to prevent also this area from destruction: it was destined to be bulldozered away as well.
