La tua guida definitiva per un'esperienza indimenticabile!

Greetings and welcome to Bucharest! To ensure your stay is nothing short of fantastic and hassle-free,
We've meticulously curated a list of recommendations that will help you navigate and savor every moment of this beautiful city to its fullest.

Arrivare a #Ecletico

Arriving in Bucharest sets the stage for your adventure. 

​

From the Airport:

  1. Opt for a seamless journey by utilizing Uber or Bolt for a direct ride.

  2. Opt for bus 100 followed by a delightful 10-minute stroll to reach your accommodation.

  3. Opt for train + Metro or Bus from the North Railway Station to the City Center 

 

For smooth navigation throughout the city, I highly recommend relying on Google Maps. Thanks to a partnership between the City Hall of Bucharest and Google Maps, you'll have access to real-time public transportation updates. Plus, a 90-minute ride on any mode of transportation costs only 3 lei. You will be paying by CARD/ Phone
