Explore Bucharest with Eddie

Bucharest is one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. You can discover here a unique  mix of urban layers representing different stages of Bucharest history.  Vlad the Impaler  had his Princely Court here and actually he mentioned the name "Bucharest" for the first time in a document, in 1459. 

Welcome to Bucharest - The Little Paris - The City of Joy!
