See the best and the famous, all in one tour! Book now!BEST OF BUCHAREST – IN A NUTSHELL
- The Romanian Athenaeum – the country’s most prestigious concert hall with an outstanding acoustics
- Revolution Square – the place where infamous dictator Nicolae Ceausescu held his last speech
- Old City Center – the increasingly beautiful, lively old streets of Bucharest
- Caru cu Bere restaurant – the most famous restaurant in downtown Bucharest, serving Romanian traditional dishes
- Macca Vilacrosse passage – a spectacular glass covered passage
- Stavropoleos monastery – the most beautiful Brancovan style church in the historical center
- The tour ends at Hanul lui Manuc – the last caravanserai in South Eastern Europe
We’ll start at the Romanian Athenaeum (but let’s discuss what’s the most convenient place for you) and we’ll walk along Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue). You will learn how to discern between the puzzling architectural mix of Brancovan, Neoclassical, Belle Epoque and Art Deco styles, while discovering the social and economic background of the times when they emerged.
We’ll then enter, walk around and stop in the Old City Center and after that, the old or new Bucharest will no longer be a mystery and you’ll understand a good chunk of what living in Romania means.
On our way, we’ll stop at some of the greatest cake shops in Bucharest. I’m very curious if you can resist temptation – I bet I won’t (be warned, the cakes are not included in the price).
