Bucharest In Your Pocket New & Old

in Bucharest,Romania,Travel

Given how long and distinctly grim this winter was, we though that the city needed cheering up a bit, which is why the cover of the latest issue of Bucharest In Your Pocket is perhaps one of the brightest we have ever had:

Bucharest In Your Pocket 76

You can download a PDF copy of the guide here, or view it on Issuu here (and below). Hard copies will be available in a day or two in all the usual places around Bucharest.

We also this week sent a new Sibiu In Your Pocket Mini-Guide to the printer. The cover, featuring the rear of the Brukenthal Museum is similarly bright and breezy:

Sibiu In Your Pocket 2

Apropos of absolutely nothing, if you are wondering what the cover of the first ever Bucharest In Your Pocket (from May 1999) looked like, wonder no more. We found a copy and have scanned it for your viewing pleasure:

Bucharest In Your Pocket issue 1

What were we thinking of?

Just flew in from New York. Bucharest looks the best yet. Things seem to be moving along. Plenty of BMW X6s with 315/R21 rims. . .

judging by the painted? tree cover no1 i can honestly say that you guys are here on a mission/completely clueless/donkey and so on …
I can really imagine the guy who chose the pic saying in his head: Why this totem tree could be found in Ghana anyday chuckles and slips it in

Actually, Ghana featured in one of our best early reviews, for a short-lived Scottish pub, on Calea Mosilor I think.

It began ‘This place is about as Scottish as Ghana.’

Good thing they tend to come and go quite often cause otherwise it would be boring to read the same unchanged section about pubs and restaurants over and over again.

Not so good for the pub owners who have wasted a small fortune to discover that the landlord is the only one who makes money out of the sorry episode!
