County Ilfov
In Muntenia

Idiosyncratic Ilfov

Is it a county or a special district?  It used to be alot larger before 1972, and is today the smallest county in Romania, dwarfed by the might of Bucharest in the southern half of the county.

County Ilfov has eight towns, from the suburban Bucharest satellites of Otopeni, Voluntari, Bragadiru, and populous Pantelimon, to slightly further afield Buftea, Chitila, Popeşti-Leordeni and Măgurele.  There are also 31 communes, listed below.

We are adding more information to this page and reviewing the content over this month.  Have a look later if you'd like!  E-Mail Us for More Info!
 

 County Ilfov used to be largely rural, but after the 1989 revolution, many of the county's villages and communes developed into high-income commuter towns, which act like suburbs or satellites of Bucharest. 

The development and gentrification of the county is continuing, with many towns in Ilfov, such as Otopeni, having higher some of the highest GDP per capita levels in the country.

The county has a large surface covered with forests and also due to its lakes, it is a frequent week-end and holiday destinations for the inhabitants of Bucharest.
