The word bohemian refers to so many different things: hipsters, political activists, artists. But the word itself originates from the state of Bohemia in the Czech Republic.

Along the Danube River sits a great capital with stunning architecture and hidden surprises. I’m not talking about Vienna or Budapest. Everybody knows about those cities.

You’ll be hearing a lot more about Bucharest soon, trust me.
