Highlights
Explore Bucharest differently! Our capital is much more than the Old Town and palaces. It is a vibrant city, hiding gems behind the main streets like urban art, creative local initiatives and reinvented little corners with a social mission. Our local guide will not just take you to these hidden spots but will also share their story and explain the encrypted messages of current political and social situations on the ARTivism scene. Take the unbeaten paths to discover Bucharest of today and to understand the real life that the street artist expresses more and more. On this tour you will explore non-touristic places and get the best photos of murals and cool places in town. You will visit creative and social hubs so you can hang out at truly local places and enjoy the atmosphere while supporting local causes and businesses. You will gain a local perspective over the public space and the real life of the city from a local guide passionate to be an urban explorer and a traveller buddy.

About Bucharest
Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.
The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.
Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
