Gh.Magheru Blvd is a boulevard in central Bucharest, located between Romană Square and N.Bălcescu Blvd, which leads to the University Square. It is named after General Gh.Magheru, a Romanian revolutionary and soldier from Wallachia.

(2) Gh.Magheru Blvd (which runs south by southeast towards University Square);
(3) Dacia Blvd (which runs roughly east-west through the square).
