Bucharest is the centre of the Romanian mass
media, culture and arts. Its eclectic
architecture is a mix of historical, interbellum,
Communist-era and modern. In the period between
the two World Wars, the city's elegant
architecture and the sophistication of its elite
earned Bucharest the nickname of the "Paris of
the East" or "Little Paris" (Micul Paris).
