Bucharest: Where Warsaw Meets Cairo
Download our award-winning Bucharest guide for free.Bucharest In Your Pocket has been publishing the best guide to this unique city (a cross between the socialism of Warsaw and the chaos of Cairo) for nine years. Amid libel battles and law suits, we continue to bring you the best and worst of this unique city, once described by a cheeky but clever wag we know as "A shit hole, but my kind of shit hole."
The best of Bucharest is here, while the worst it could be said is right here. There's a great new Bucharest Blog here.
If you know of a place we have not featured, or think we have been unfair in our assessment, please contact us at bucharest (at) inyourpocket.com.
If you want to get your hands on our print guide, you can purchase a copy before you leave home at our merchant partner, Click & Buy. Alternatively, download the full guide in PDF, for free, right here.
And if you're planning on tripping elsewhere in the immediate vicinity, check out our guides to Ljubljana, Sofia, Belgrade, Athens or Kyiv.
