Bucharest is the capital city of Romania and have a population of about 2.3 million. It is also know as 'The Little Paris / Le Petit Paris' because of it's beautiful architecture and wide boulevards.
Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded by a shepherd named "Bucur", whose name means "joy". His flute playing reportedly dazzled the locals and his hearty wine from nearby vineyards endeared him to the local traders, who gave his name to the place.
