It is a good place to start visiting Bucharest and the fountains are beautiful, but most of them are not working properly. You can see the Peoples' Palace from here and also you can access the old town.

Though not specifically beautiful, it is a must see in Bucharest. It will be kind of hard to avoid it anyway, as it next to the old city center, Casa Poporului and Unirii shopping center.

Pure comunist stile of a square. You could see from there the Parliament House and make some shoping at Unirea or Cocor magazines.

Legacy of the Communist regime. A bit kitschy, but it's the center of the city. The fountains offer a little shower during the summer, but there aren't many trees to provide shade. Not such a good place to be after dark.

There are great fountains built by great professional artists. It is a pity that the wonderful mosaic is not clean and nobody can admire it and appreciate it.
