During my first high school year I had the opportunity to be a Bucharest tourist guide for groups of foreign students visiting the city. I always loved my home city but this time I had once more the context to look around through visitors eyes.
For those who are for the first time having contact with Bucharest it is good to know that in Europe it is the 6th city as size, here are leaving about 3mil people and almost 2 mil more in nearby villages. The location was first time referenced in historical documents in 1459. According to legends, it was founded by a shepherd named Bucur. In my mother tongue bucurie means joy – one more reason for me to love my hometown city.
Between the two World Wars, due to the city’s elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite, Bucharest earned the nickname of “Little Paris”. From the architecture perspective, there are many beautiful buildings representing an excellent study and source of joy. In the Gallery section I just posted a few of them – Romanian Athenaeum, The Palace Hall, École Centrale de Bucarest, InterContinental Hotel Bucharest.
