Bucharest
, the capital of Romania, is located in the central part of the Romanian Plain. It is contiguous to the south with the
Danubian Plain

), in
Bulgaria
. This area is also sometimes referred to as the
Danubian Plain
(Campia Dun?rii)
in Romanian, though this designation is not specific, because the Danube flows through a number of plains along its course, such as the
Hungarian Plain
(which is called the Danubian Plain in Slovakia and Serbia), as well as the Bavarian Lowland, also called the Danubian Plain.
