Bucarest (en roumain : București, /bu.ku.ˈreʃtʲ/ , ou Municipiul București en version longue) est la capitale et le centre culturel, économique et politique de la Roumanie. La ville est mentionnée pour la première fois en 1459 comme marché fortifié au carrefour des routes commerciales entre Târgoviște, alors capitale de la Valachie, Brașov en Transylvanie, et le port de San-Giorgio fondé par les Génois sur le Danube. Ce marché s'est rapidement développé et, au XVIIe siècle, il devient la capitale de la principauté de Valachie, puis, en 1859, de la Roumanie. Lors du dernier recensement de 2011, la municipalité comptait 1 883 425 habitants, en diminution par rapport à 2002 et 1992. Bucarest reste la plus grande ville de Roumanie. On la surnomme parfois Micul Paris, qui signifie « Petit Paris », ou encore « le Paris des Balkans ».
