My Bucuresti

Basic Bucuresti city map.



My beautiful home, the capital city of Romania serves as the Cultural epicenter in Eastern Europe. The picturesque gardens, well arranged lakes, handsomely designed avenues, and strategically laid out grand boulevards lead you to narrow cobble stone roads and pretty corner shops as well as historic places of interest. The spacious parks are surrounded by imposing museums and palaces of old. Opera houses along side well appointed Mansions and looming Military monuments give way to rows and rows of Communist style housing blocks. This is my home town, this is Bucuresti!





Ceausescu's Palace


The Palace of Parliament - also called the House of People or the House of Ceausescu has been built between 1984-1989 and it represents the grandest administrative construction in Europe. It has hundreds of offices, halls for receptions or for other events (scientific, cultural, social-political), dozens of conference rooms. It covers 265.000 sqm interior surface, being the second biggest in the world after the Pentagon building in Washington.


The Athaeneum


The Romanian Athaeneum - one of the most representative buildings of the capital, erected in 1886-1888 following the plans of the French architect Albert Galleron. The necessary sums for the erection of the building were raised through public subscription. The exterior architecture represents a combination of styles: neo-classic, baroque, ionic, etc.




Arch of Triumph


The Arch of Triumph - inaugurated on 1st December 1936, glorifies the bravery of the Romanian soldiers who fought in the First World War, celebrating at the same time the 1918 Union of Romanian provinces. Designed by the architect Petre Antonescu, the monument is 27 m high.
