Bușteni: Banca Transilvania - Bulevardul Libertății
Few places in the Prahova Valley have a history as closely tied to rail travel and mountain tourism as Bușteni. Set on the Prahova River between the Bucegi Mountains and the Baiu Mountains, the town developed along the route linking Bucharest with Transylvania; the railway arrived in 1879. Bulevardul Libertății forms its main north–south artery, where local services, including Banca Transilvania, meet traffic on the DN1 corridor. Above the town, the Bucegi plateau contains the Sphinx and Babele rock formations. Cantacuzino Castle, completed in 1911 for Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, is a notable early-20th-century landmark.

The Jiu River and the Danube plain define much of Dolj - fertile soils have long supported agriculture, while Craiova concentrates the county’s urban life, services and industry. Set in southwestern Romania’s Oltenia region, Dolj extends across broad lowlands to the Danube, which forms its southern border with Bulgaria. Craiova, the county seat, is known for Nicolae Romanescu Park and the University of Craiova, and its historic centre gives the city an important regional role. The Marin Sorescu National Theatre reflects a literary connection to the poet and dramatist born in Dolj. Beyond the city, fields, villages and river corridors shape daily life.
