About this experience
Bucharest is known as the 'city of joy' and the 'little Paris'. The architecture of the Romanian capital is imbued with French charm. Wide boulevards are lined with greenery, and ancient churches and streets hold many secrets and legends. I invite you to take a ride through my favorite city, learn its history, and immerse yourself in its beauty and charm.
What to Expect
'Little Paris'
We will drive through the most remarkable places in Bucharest. At Revolution Square, you will see the legendary Athenaeum, the external columns of which resemble the columns of the Acropolis in Athens. Here is also the Museum of Art, located in the former royal palace. We will visit the University of Bucharest - one of the most authoritative educational institutions in Romania.
Old Town
Next, we will visit the Old Town, where literally every building is a keeper of history. We will stroll along Lipscani pedestrian street, existing since the 17th century, visit the 18th-century Stavropoleos Church. We will see the ruins of the princely court and touch the relics of St. Nicholas the Miracle-Worker in the St. George Church. We will look at medieval excavations and a passage built by a Spanish architect.
