Bucharest is the capital of Romania and the economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. It is located in the middle of the Wallachia Plain in southeastern Romania.

Bucharest is pronounced "bucur Shiti" in Romanian, which means "happy city" ("bucur" means joy). According to legend, in the13rd century, a shepherd named bucur came to the Dimbovita River with his sheep from a remote mountain area.
