Highlights

This is a comprehensive Bucharest tour that takes you through the city’s past and recent history, and to the most emblematic attractions. I will provide you with plenty of insights into Romanian history (including communist and post-communist history) and local culture. This tour is a mix of essential sightseeing and flexibility -all at your pace. We conveniently use the car to transfer to different areas of interest. We cover the key areas and landmarks, but I also try to throw in things considering your special interest. Please have in mind that I can adapt the tour to suit your preference or needs – like having more or less walk, as you wish. We have a mid-point lunch break, but I will be happy to stop for a coffee or refreshing drink along the way. End up the tour with a stroll in the pedestrian Old Town, a bustling place full of restaurants, pavement cafes and bars, hub of nightlife Bucharest is famous for, also home to iconic landmarks.

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).
