Bucharest

In the south of Romania sits Bucharest, where remnants of communism intertwine with the vibrance of modern life. With some of the best deals on apartments in all of Europe and all the welcoming cafes, good food and vibrant nightlife one could possibly need, Bucharest is rapidly growing in popularity among remote workers. With a quaint Old Town, beautiful Belle Epoque architecture, historical sites, grand avenues and quiet residential neighborhoods, it's easy to feel at home here. The level of English is high, locals are friendly and the internet is some of the fastest in the world. Bucharest is also within easy reach of medieval villages, castles and palaces and the stunning nature of the Carpathian Mountains and the Transylvanian countryside.
