Meet Romania, a land of beauty and mystery…

About This Project

Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of “Little Paris”), Bucharest, Romania’s largest city and capital, is today a bustling metropolis.Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literarily means “joy.” His flute playing reportedly dazzled the people and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place.

Regardless of its name since antiquity, Bucharest – The Capital City of Romania – has been and continues to be ‘One of Europe’s pearls’; a modern European city, where “The City’s Youth” is fed through a never-ending fight between the past and the future, with a powerful mark which is felt all over the place.

Today, the city is a mixture of the old and new, traditional and modern, east and west, which on the one hand gives it the aspect of an eclectic and chaotic metropolis, and originality and charm, on the other.
