Description
București is one of the 41 județas (counties) of Romania, encompassing the city of Bucharest and its surroundings. Although the region itself is relatively small, it plays a key role in the country, serving as the political, administrative and economic centre of Romania. It is located in the southern part of the country, in the central region of the Walachia Province, between the Danube River and the Southern Carpathians.
The București region is one of the most densely populated areas of Romania and its economy is one of the strongest in the country, thanks to the dominant role of the capital as a financial, industrial and service centre. Bucharest, being the capital of the region, is also a major educational and cultural centre, with numerous universities, theatres, museums and other cultural institutions.
Although the București region is mainly an urban area, it also includes suburban and agricultural areas, as well as protected natural areas. The region is also characterised by a rich historical and architectural heritage, including many monuments from the interwar period that commemorate Bucharest's development as an important administrative and cultural centre of Romania.
