💨 Abstract

Paris, known for its romance and haute couture, is now facing overtourism issues, leading to increased tourist taxes and restrictions on short-term rentals. In contrast, Bucharest, Romania, dubbed the "Paris of the East," offers similar charms but at a lower cost and with fewer crowds. Referred to as "Little Paris," Bucharest features French-inspired architecture, including the Arcul de Triumf and ornate buildings from various artistic periods.
