Extra day/night possible in Bucharest – this stunning Eastern European capital is unlike any other. You will undoubtedly be struck by its eclecticism. The city does not reveal its charms easily, but by following the topo guide that we provide, you will be seduced by the richness, the diversity of this city between East and West! The architecture here is the result of the Latin, Ottoman, Slavic, Royal, Socialist and Capitalist rules... Today Bucharest is the fruit of all these stages, a city with a rich history, featuring a heterogeneous cultural blend, a city full of surprises and poetry.
