The Places
Bucharest
Romania’s lively capital, the ninth largest city in the EU, is home to more
than 2.1million people. Bucharest has been playing a leading role in the
country’s economic renaissance. Multi-national companies such as Renault,
Ford, General Electric, Continental, Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Oracle,
IKEA, Carrefour, & Vodafone Glaxo Smith Kline have all chosen Romania as
their regional headquarters, with many opting for locations in Bucharest.
The capital is set for continued growth with major new infrastructure
projects such as a new motorway, ring road & a recent expansion of the
international airport. Bucharest owes its stylish elegance to the re-modelling of
the city by French & French-trained architects between 1870 and 1920. Wide, tree-lined boulevards &
graceful Belle Époque buildings gave the city the nickname “Little Paris.” Today there’s a thriving cultural &
economic life, with attractions ranging from captivating historic churches to communist megaliths. Bucharest is
a city of distinctive neighbourhoods, from the quaint old streets of the historic centre to affluent contemporary
suburbs such as Pipera in the north of the city. As the third largest city in the region - after Athens & Istanbul -
Bucharest has attracted the lion’s share of inward investment into Romania so far, & prospects for further
growth are considerable.
Cluj-Napoca
Transylvania’s historic capital, Cluj-Napoca (generally shortened to Cluj) is a tantalising mix of old & new. Its
many historic attractions, together with top universities based in the city, & the beauty of the surrounding
countryside, combine to make Cluj an attractive place to live & work. It is a good place to do business too.
Cluj has also become a magnet for international investment & enjoys excellent transport links within Romania
as well as direct flights from its international airport to London, Munich, Frankfurt, Vienna, Florence, Verona &
Budapest.

Western Europe, Timisoara is an important hub for Romania’s fast emerging IT and telecom’s industry. Other

The Black Sea
The Romanian Black Sea coast has fine, soft sand & safe, gently sloping
beaches, with practically no tides or currents & a warm, dry climate in
summer. The coastline stretches for 230 km & has many fine resorts &

curative powers, so spa resorts have opened up in these areas. Romania’s
