Christmas in Bucharest is full of surprises

Bucharest comes alive at Christmas. All the main avenues are adorned with lights. Storefronts, hotels and even tram cars are decked out with holiday décor.

After living in Christmas-crazy London the last three Decembers, I was concerned we’d miss out on that holiday feeling this year. But it’s safe to say Bucureșteans love Christmas just as much as Brits.
