That is the guts of the town the place vacationers are inclined to flock for astounding structure courting again centuries, cozy cafes, and conventional eating places that certainly will not break the financial institution, so be ready to take pleasure in dessert.

Papanasi, anybody? 🍩

Although a few of the metropolis on the outskirts of Outdated City gives a very totally different vibe, given its Soviet previous — and it exhibits with drab buildings missing the identical character.

The identical cannot be stated for King Michael I Park, a sprawling park beaming with autumn foliage this time of 12 months and residential to the tranquil Lake Herăstrău, which is beautiful any season.

HiSky’s Historic New Flight From Chicago

Based on HiSky’s official press launch, “Chicago turns into the second U.S. metropolis to which the airline resumes direct flights, 24 years after the suspension of this route”.

Slated for launch on June 4, 2026, there’s loads of time to plan forward. After all, Chicagoans know hordes of vacationers invade their very own metropolis for the vivid blue waters of Lake Michigan, world-class eats, museums, and a lot extra, that it is the excellent time to get out of dodge.

So, what are vacationers saying about their flight experiences with HiSky?

Based on Air Advisor, vacationers have given HiSky a rating of two stars out of 5. The caveat is that there are solely 3 evaluations listed.

The primary overview states their ‘check-in on-line price is ineffective,’ and the second overview is an ideal 5/5, giving an enthusiastic shoutout to the pleasant flight attendants.
