Bucharest In Your Pocket: 10 Years Old

Bucharest In Your Pocket is 10

“When we researched the first issue of Bucharest In Your Pocket we had a feeling that the city was too big to be put in a pocket. Ten years and 59 issues later we have proven that we can actually put the essence of this city in our handy guide.”

Matthias Luefkens, Founder

What can only be described as Eclipse Fever was gripping the nation when the first Bucharest In Your Pocket was published, at the end of May, 1999. Bucharest was, you see, being heralded as the best place in the world to view one of nature’s rarities: a total eclipse of the sun scheduled for August 11th, and which would darken the sky for three minutes and make stars visible at midday.
