BUCHAREST: A MODERN CITY WITH A GREAT HISTORY

Bucharest, the capital of Romania is also its social, economic and cultural centre. It is located in the southeast of the country and lies on the banks of the Dâmbovita river.

In recent years, Romania’s largest city has been experiencing an economic and cultural boom. It is today a bustling metropolis. Bucharest is laden with historical charm - from the streets of the old city centre, which are slowly being restored, to the grand architecture of the Royal Palace and the fashionable garden and parks.

The city is also recognised as a European Cultural Capital. Bucharest boasts a staggering 37 museums, 22 theatres, the Bucharest National opera House, and 18 art galleries. Once deemed “Little Paris”, Romania’s reputation for architectural elegance and rich cultural history continues today in its tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and reputation for high society.

THE PALACE OF THE PARLIAMENT: A UNIQUE VENUE

Right in the historical and geographical centre of Bucharest, overlooking Unirii Boulevard, stands the International Conference Center, Palace of the Romanian Parliament, which is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s largest civilian administrative building.

Built in the mid ‘80s, this significant multi-purpose structure hosts today the Chamber of Deputies, the Constitutional Court and the Legislative Council, and has consequently become a symbol of the Romanian democracy. Eclectic in style, it brings together elements of multiple styles: traditional Romanian architecture and Romanian popular ornamental art (such as the rosette). All this will contribute to making the 2011 AEGPL Congress a unique and successful event!
