Bucharest

Danube-area European capital

Bucharest is the capital and largest city of Romania, located in the southern part of the country.

It serves as Romania's political, economic, and cultural center: We flew into Bucharest and took the train north.

The city is sometimes called "Little Paris" for its French-influenced architecture from the early twentieth century.
