The Floreasca neighborhood today is one of the most exclusive and prosperous in Bucharest.

Full of trees and small parks, close to the center and full of buildings with a bohemian air, Floreasca connects Aviatiei, Dorobantii and Tei. No corner of the neighborhood reminds you of its origin. Nothing lets you see that this was once a landfill.
Now traversed by Calea Floreasca over a distance of 4 and a half kilometers, the old neighborhood was divided into three areas – Upper, Middle and Lower Floreasca and had as its main artery, Drumul Placintei. And here it formed, over time, the city’s garbage dump. At its edge lived, in a slum, peasant families.
The history of the neighborhood is divided into three defining periods.
Very little is known regarding the first one, the one before communism. In the second one, during the RPR/RSR years, most of the buildings were built here – the small blocks in such high demand now – and that’s when the streets we still walk on were “cut”.
