Known as The Cultural Capital of Romania, Iasi is a symbol in Romanian history. Still referred to as The Moldavian Capital, Iasi is the seat of Iasi County and the main economic centre of the Romanian region of Moldavia. Home to the first Romanian modern university and to the first engineering school, it is the second largest university centre in the country and accommodates over 75,000 students in 5 public and 7 private universities. The social and cultural life revolves around cultural centres and festivals, an array of museums, memorial houses, religious and historical monuments.

Iasi was the capital of the historic Principate of Moldova and was Romania's first capital (from 1859-1862).

Iasi continued to be the most important cultural centre of the country even after Bucharest became the capital of Romania in 1862.

Iasi can be reached by plane, by train or by car from Bucharest, which is around 400 km far.
