University Square Bucharest

University Square is one of the main squares of Bucharest, being situated at ground zero of the Romanian highway network. It's haussian form of 'big intersection'- "La Grande Croisee", crossing the north-south and east-west axes, allows the urban development through Parisian influences. Here, there are some of the most important buildings in Bucharest like: The National Theatre, The Intercontinental Hotel and The University Building.

It is hard, even impossible, to imagine the cultural history of modern Romania without the impressive presence of the National Theatre in Bucharest. Over the decades, it has been a cultural forum, a place of important encounters between creators, the spot where a brilliant performance on stage could bring you the love and passion of the whole country. Even during the Communist years, when due to political constraints some sacrifices had to  be made - directors, authors, actors who weren't allowed to work, several plays strictly forbidden - the I.L. Caragiale National Theatre kept on going, made the best of what it was, managed to draw thousands and thousands to the plays. It was and still is a place where you can learn, where you can enjoy the art of great actors, where you can see a good play 10-15 times and every time there will be something about it that touches you.

A modern landmark in the main square, The InterContinental Hotel is one of the city’s favorite international high-rise hotels, a distinction owed to its ideal location, fine appointments and impeccable service. Within walking distance are business and shopping boulevards, embassies and the Metro. The National Theatre, four significant museums, the old city and Cismigiu Gardens are just a few minutes away.
