Itinerary
You will get an introduction into Bucharest history and beginnings by seeing the oldest buildings in Bucharest.
Bucharest roots lies in a trading background, two centuries ago, one in four buildings in the old city center was a caravan-serai, today only three of them remain and this is one of them.
A century ago this was the financial district of Bucharest, you will be surrounded by the National Bank, the former Stock Exchange, The Palace of Trading and Commerce along with many other state and private banks.
90% of the Romanian people are Christian Orthodox and still we are quite a religious country, this monastery is and iconic monument which represents very well the features of the Orthodox heritage and architecture.
You will be standing in front of what is considered to be, probably the best old architecture in Bucharest, let's find out why the oldest buildings in Bucharest are quite new and how the city was remodeled and shaped during it's 600 years of existence.
Still in the financial district, where there is a lot of money there has to be spending opportunities, Macca Villacrosse galleries were the golden standard in this sense.
From monarchy to communism to democracy, all the marks from the recent Romanian history are tied to this place!
From an architectural perspective you will be in full Stalin era.
Experience the beauty of the oldest park in Bucharest.
The second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon but heavier than it!

5A must do tour
This is a must do tour to gain a true incite into the history of the city and learn about the different architecture aswell as the Revolution. Our tour guide Radu, was a very personable young man who not only knew all about the history but was also able to answer questions on things not part of the tour. It was impressive how knowledgeable he was and is a true asset to the company. Wishing Radu a bright & successful future.

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).
