Host city

Discover Bucharest

Bucharest is a capital of contrasts: Belle Époque boulevards and Brutalist monuments, leafy lakeside parks and a restless contemporary food and music scene.

Set on the Dâmbovița river in southern Romania, the city pairs deep history with one of Europe’s fastest-growing research and technology communities, and it is easy to reach from across the continent.
