Copywriting: Iasi, a city worth visiting

Iasi is one of the largest and oldest cities in Romania. Well known for being a student friendly city, with top universities and good resources for studies, great places for nights out and cheap prices. Coming from a person who lived there 8 years, it can be said that it's a really good place to live, big city, a lot of job opportunities, there is always something new going on so you don`t get bored, like free concerts or all sorts of other events.

Palas Overview

Part of its beauty is the new Palas Iasi, next to the historical Palace of Culture. The Palas ensemble is a ''city in the heart of the city''. Here you can find A-class offices, apartments, areas for retail, children`s playground, gym, clubs, restaurants and also an underground parking lot for almost 2.500 cars.Thinking that Romania is still in recession, is worth mentioning that at Palas there are over 4.000 permanent jobs and that companies are recruiting all the time.

Nevertheless, a well know place in Iasi where students tend to spend most of their time, is Tudor Vladimirescu. Here you can find part of the accommodation that University Al. I. Cuza is offering. This became a student's area, with a lot of great places to hang out and shop, everything being a bit cheaper than in other areas. Basically you have everything you need: big mall for shopping, restaurants, pizza places, pubs, clubs, fast food and many other places where people go, socialize and have fun.

Great places to spend time and have fun are also theatres. One of the biggest theatre in Iasi is Luceafarul. This is a great place where people go and enjoy a nice show,  socialize and have fun. Also, for drama students or those who finished their studies, the theatre offers a great amount of intern-ships, or just one time plays where students can act and gain experience.


Another thing that should be mentioned is the airport. Iasi has an international airport, which is now being expanded, that can take you in great places like: London, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris and many more. This is a great thing if there are students who want to go abroad for exchange programs, work or just holiday.
