The Jerusalem Post Podcast - Travel Edition, Episode 53

Mark and David head to Bucharest, the capital of Romania to find out why it's become such a tourism center in recent years and learn there are plans afoot to develop it a whole lot more, with the old Jewish quarter at the very heart of its future. This time:

• The story of one of the world's largest buildings - Ceausescu and The Palace of Parliament
• We're off to City Hall to get the lowdown on tourism in Bucharest including the old Jewish neighborhood
• A private audience with the opera's artistic director (oh, and he's Israeli)
• We visit Therme, a gigantic swimming-pool-cum-spa-cum-kids-slides-cum-gastronomy-hub wonderland
• Keeping Jewish and Yiddish theater alive and well in 21st-Century Europe

Mark and David were guests of Bucharest City Hall, the Embassy of Romania in Israel and Tarom.
