As far as I can see prices are from 600-700 euros up.
You could also use regular flights, from Bucharest to Timisoara with TAROM or Carpatair and then from Timisoara to Craiova with Carpatair - this should be around €90-100 (if tickets are booked in advance).
The world hotels chain Howard Johnson Plaza took over the high Dorobanti hotel in Bucharest a few years ago. Today, after years of renovation the hotel has a great new look, very modern and last year its opened to the public.
The high building is also an unmissible part of Bucharests skyline. The branch of the hotel in Bucharest is the first that was opened in Europe by Howard Johnson Plaza.
Seems to me at least a bad taste or waste of money, and at most a sign of hidden inferiority complex.
A few years ago Cluj Napoca was "the city of flags", because of its nationalistic mayor Gh. Funar. As if it had a "flag factory", the mayor made every public building to wear as many flags as possible, street benches to be painted in red-yellow-blue, even some houses in the old centre to be renovated in the same colours.
Now that Cluj has changed his megalomaniac mayor (one might add with a stupid one:-), it was time for Bucharest to catch up. Basescu¡'s election as president meant dozens of large flags to be installed on the boulevard heading for the presidential palace of Cotroceni.
Nowadays, some churches, especially in Bucharest, do not only have crosses on their top, but the Romanian flag at their entrance, sometimes even accompanied by the EU one, as if the way to god is paved by nation-states citizenship.
Like many other cities across the world before them, Bucharest is counting on a herd of fiberglass cows to bring in a herd of camera toting tourists and to brighten up the city with the whimsically designed bovines.
Bucharest is one of several cities hosting Cow Parades this summer. The first public displays of cows as art was in Switzerland in 1998, in 1999 my hometown of Chicago adopted the idea and was successful in getting lots of people to visit to see them. Since then many other cities have used this idea to sponsor public art and raise funds for charity when the cows are auctioned off at the end.
We only came across two while in Bucharest, since it was the beginning of the exhibition there was no map of the locations to be found but In Your Pocket promised to have one in their June/July issue.
The Cow Parade runs through September 12 after which the cows will be auctioned off for charity.
At night, Bucharest seems to come alive to a different life. Romanians are Latin people and love to live life to the full.
In Bucharest there are clubs, pubs, bars, discotheques, night clubs, and casinos everywhere; every night they are taken by storm by masses of young people looking for fun and adventure. These places are mostly open all night and they await you with great music, superbe drinks and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
If you're going to Bucharest on a business trip and your spare time is limited, do not give up seeing at least a few landmarks of the city.
Find a taxi driver who speaks the language you can communicate in and negotiate the price for his time. Ion, my taxi driver was my guide and bodyguard (no kidding!) for the whole morning for just $30. That's a pretty good investment considering that all your other expenses are paid by your company :-)
