Bacău, County capital in eastern Romania
Description
Bacău is a county capital in eastern Romania that extends across the valleys between the Eastern Carpathians and sub-Carpathians, near the meeting point where Bistrița and Siret rivers flow together. The city connects several neighborhoods along the river valleys with wide streets, residential blocks, and industrial areas on the outskirts.
History
First documented in 1408 as a customs post, the city developed into a trade center at the ford over the Bistrița river. During the 20th century it expanded through industrialization and became a hub for aircraft manufacturing and textile production.
Culture
The regional museum displays collections of Neolithic idols, Dacian pottery, and ancient coins discovered in surrounding archaeological sites. Visitors can follow through the exhibits how people in this area have lived and traded across thousands of years.
Practical
George Enescu International Airport connects the city with major European destinations while the railway station links to primary Romanian cities. The center is easy to explore on foot, and local buses reach the outer neighborhoods and industrial areas.
