Discover Bucharest

As enthusiasts of this wonderful game know well, the importance of choosing the right location for hosting tournaments cannot be underestimated. This is why we, the organizers, have chosen Bucharest—a city that beautifully blends the romance reminiscent of Belle Époque and interwar Paris with the modern buildings of a financial hub.

Local Experiences

Renowned Romanian hospitality shines through in the restaurants, bars, cafés, and clubs of the Old Town, near landmarks such as the Curtea Veche with its Medieval Palace, the famous Macca-Villacrosse Passage, Manuc’s Inn, La Mahala-Covaci, and Extra-Time Pub — the headquarters for football and rugby fans. These and many other locations each offer their own unique atmosphere and attractions.

Accessibility and Comfort

Romania’s largest airport, Henri Coandă International, is located just 10 miles (15 kilometers) from Hotel Caro, providing convenient access for all participants. With airfare typically ranging from 50 to 200 euros, Bucharest is both an accessible and welcoming destination, where you can enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.
