Băneasa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Băneasa /bə'ne̯a.sa/ is a borough (Romanian: cartier) in the north side of Bucharest, near the Băneasa Lake (0.45 km²). Like all north-side districts of Bucharest, it is relatively sparsely-populated, with large areas of parkland.
In the 2000s, the area has become increasingly upmarket, due to the construction of various luxury apartment developments in and around it (as are those in the the Pipera-Tunari area). It is also home to many villas constructed before the 1930s that were refurbished in the 1990s and 2000s.
Băneasa contains the Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, used mainly by low-cost carriers.
[edit] Transport
Băneasa is linked by RATB bus lines to the Bucharest city centre. There is currently a proposal to construct an extension of the Bucharest Metro to serve this district and its increasing population.
