More about this event
As it is well known by the enthusiasts of this wonderful game, the importance of the location chosen for the competitions cannot be ignored. That's why we, the organizers, chose Bucharest, because perhaps no other city in Romania brings together so well the romanticism that most reminds of Paris from the Bell Epoque and interwar periods, but also the modern buildings specific to a financial center.
Romanian hospitality has spread thanks to the restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs in the Old Center, in whose vicinity is the Old Court with its Medieval Palace, the famous Macca-Villacrosse Passage, the Manuc Inn, La Mahala-Covaci, Club Fire - the headquarters of football and rugby enthusiasts...and many, many others, with their atmosphere and attractions.
The country's largest airport, Henri Coanda Airport, is located approximately 10 miles/15 kilometers from the Caro Hotel, our host during the contest, and plane ticket prices vary from 50 euros to 200 euros.
The organizers will provide, upon request, the transfer from the airport to the hotel with cars, free of charge.
We welcome you with love, for a contest and an unforgettable vacation!
