Bucharest - What about the city itself?

The city of Bucharest whose hospitality you could enjoy during your dental treatment is the capital municipality, cultural, industrial, and financial centre of Romania. It is the largest city in Romania, located in the southeast of the country, lies on the banks of the Dambovita river, less than 70 kilometres (43 miles) north of the Danube river.

Bucharest was first mentioned in documents in 1459. It became the capital of Romania in 1862 and is the centre of Romanian media, culture and art. Its architecture is a mix of historical (neo-classical), interbellum (Bahaus and Art Deco), Communist-era and modern. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of "Little Paris".

Economically, Bucharest is the most prosperous city in Romania and is one of the main industrial centres and transportation hubs of Eastern Europe. The city has big convention facilities, educational institutes, cultural venues, traditional "shopping arcades" and recreational areas.

Many people travel to Bucharest  for dental care; not only from inside the borders but also from numerous western European countries, or even from overseas. We may claim with good reason that Bucharest is the top of the strongholds of Romanian dental tourism, which can be attributed to its excellent accessibility, convenient geographical location as well as the hospitality of the locals.
