Lisboa, Portugal for now...the city is better defined and cleaner. Bucharest is now in mass construction, transportation is horrible, and unless you know someone...you'll be lost. The Romanian capital isn't really ready for tourists yet.
Overall I think Lisboa has more interesting architecture (Belem Tower on the water and the old city, city centre - both UNESCO world heritage sites - and of course the 25th of April Bridge - which is very reminiscent of the Golden Gate bridge) more experience with tourism (Portugal wasn't closed off from the Western world for decades like Romania was during the communist years), and friendlier people.
To be honest, I didn't experience much of the nightlife in Lisboa as I only spent 3 days there...but I know that the Portuguese definitely know how to have a good time. So do Romanians...but given the current state of affairs in Bucharest, I would feel a lot better going out in Lisboa.
Romania overall is definitely cheaper than Portugal, but really I think you'll be happier in the Portuguese capital.

I would choose Bucharest but only because I have not been there yet...... Lisbon is a gorgeous place and I enjoyed it thoroughly when I went. There is so much to do and some great scenery. Our hotel was further back in the city and had great views over the castle and the river.
If you have not been to either of them I would recommend Lisbon. It's very clean and has a great vibe to it. When we went there was some kind of festival/carnival on and everyone was congregating in the evenings in costume and it was fun. The Oceanarium was great and some of the shopping is brilliant too.

Lisbon is Europe's second-oldest capital and once house to the world's greatest explorers like Vasco da Gama, Magellan and Prince Henry the Navigator, becoming the initial true world town, the capital of an empire distributing total continents, from South America (Brazil) to Asia (Macao, China; Goa, India) and know you are able to invest a couple of time to know this historical city, with hotelbye is wherever you should start. The absolute most recognized of Lisbon's key attractions is the St. George's Castle. That fortress instructions a fantastic position near Alfama on the top of a mountain overlooking the Portuguese capital. That is certainly one of Lisbon's hottest tourist destinations. Its remarkable battlements, participating memorial, and amazing archaeological website mix to really make the fort a rewarding experience for all the family, and kids particularly will cherish clambering within the stable surfaces and towers that encircle the grounds.

Although I like neither of the cities, I would choose Lisbon. It definitely has much more character and interest - both in architectural terms and landscape (sea, hills). Bucharest is rather provincial in comparison, cheaper of course, but I felt somehow the misery around me and I hated myself for being a tourist there, when the people seemed so deprived. It is another experience, you should know better what you want.

i'm romanian and we at the instant are not the comparable race with the gypsies. maximum gypsies have not have been given any preparation and a few are a real public possibility( i'm not asserting all of them, I quite have a pal it quite is a gypsie yet he gained preparation) . gypsies went to different countries and did undesirable issues and the persons from that countries made an extremely undesirable impact and theory that because of the fact they got here from romania all romanians are the comparable. and an extremely stable occasion for that's italy. some italians that have been mad at some gypsies burned down a house the place have been residing a romanian family contributors that did not something incorrect and have been high-quality human beings in basic terms because of the fact they linked them with gypsies. so i comprehend madonna had stable intentions yet you won't be in a position to blame the romanians who won't be in a position to as an occasion pass to italy without fearing that they would be persecuted, i propose she had to comprehend what we've been feeling in regards to the subject earlier status up for gypsies because of the fact we are ill of them, of the lazy ones that have not have been given any preparation and steal and rape and a great style of alternative issues as an occasion a great style of them prefer to marry their infants whilst they're 10 or 11, there are ones that like i suggested have preparation and our society welcomes them and enables them yet those ones are too few. we don't discriminate them, yet there are ones(maximum of them) that may not be in a position to be in a civilized society and that they don't prefer to benefit what's the suited element of do, they do in basic terms what they like. so i desire i made it sparkling for you why madonna become booed.

i'd probably go to Portugal, just because it looks attractive, might be inexpensive, and also you can go to the Azores islands from there, maybe, probably wouldn't go to Romania because it still seems a little Cold War-ish to me, tho i'm sure it's just lovely and plenty to see and do. I'd rather go to Hungary tho, if i went to that part of the world.
