Near the Old town is the center of Bucharest, where you find the heavily trafficated University Square (Piata Universitate) with the University of Bucharest, the postmodern National Theater (Teatrul National Ion Luca Caragiale), an impressive sculpture of Ion Luca Caragiale (a famous Romanian writer, surrounded by his characters), Museum of Bucharest, and the Grand Hotel Bucharest (formerly InterContinental), the 22-storey 5-star hotel where we stayed. It was the first modern hotel in Bucharest, opened in 1971. Bulevardul Ion Constantin Bratianu goes to the south of the University Square. |
