For clued-up tourists in Romania, no visit to Bucharest is complete without a visit to the vast and impossibly ornate Palace of the People, home to the former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and an incongruous reminder of the former Communist state’s bloody past.
Correspondingly, no trip to London – spiritual home of the over-priced coffee – is complete without getting thoroughly fleeced by local vendors, as one unfortunate group of Romanian lawyers found on a trip to promote their services to City counterparts last year.
