Description of Bucharest

Bucharest is located in the Southern Romania. It is the country’s biggest city, with 2.2 million inhabitants (2012). It was first documented in 1459 AD and inhabited since 500 BC. Bucharest is the Capital of Romania since 1862 AD. It has an elegant architecture built in the period between the two World Wars, reason for which it used to be called the Little Paris. The legend says that the name Bucuresti (Bucharest) comes from a shepherd who founded the town on the Dambovita river, whose name was Bucur (this means in Romanian happiness). The name Bucharest could also come from the name of the beech forests – Bukovie, other sources link the name of the city with the Albanian name – bukureshti – which means “it is beautiful”.

In the middle of the city, between bricks and concrete buildings there are some green oasis full of life and charm that are always bringing a smile on your face. In such places the coffee, tea or lemonade have a different taste, due to the fact that the atmosphere can make everything just a little sweeter. You can see a selection of these places in the pictures.

Even if the city doesn’t have thousands of years of history, it does have a rich heritage and culture. There is a long list of landmarks with great cultural value. Further below you can read about some of them. Discover even more information in the tours section, Bucharest days.

The charm of the big city also comes from its gardens and parks. The biggest one is Herastrau. With a beautiful lake surrounded by lots of green places, tall trees and nice terraces near the water, this is one of the best places in town to spend the sunny days. The landscape is beautiful and the feeling of sitting in nature, away from the concrete buildings is authentic. There are also some terraces that have been built on a few nice pontoons, which allow you to enjoy your meal by being very close to the water. Most of the time the park is filled with people who take a walk or just practice some sports near the shore.

Another beautiful green place in Bucharest is Cismigiu Park, situated in the center of the city. Even if it is smaller, it also has a nice atmosphere. This is the first public garden opened in Bucharest. The name “Cismigiu” comes from an old word that describes the person who can build a fountain. In 1847 Wilhelm Mayer, the person responsible for the Imperial Gardens of Vienna designed the Cismigiu Garden. Nowadays this is a place adored by artists who have many outdoor painting sessions here.
