What You Will Do
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.
