Discover the mysterious Mântuleasa district in this self-guided exploration game, a walk through the mythical Bucharest of writer Mircea Eliade, where every road leads back to yourself. Mythical figures guide you through a maze of narrow streets, old houses and small shops, from Colțea Park past the house where Eliade spent his adolescence to the Art Nouveau villas of the old quarter.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.
