Description
Imagine yourself in the late 19th century, in a romantic era of peace and prosperity called the Belle Époque.
Bucharest was a city where the West met the East, instantly charming travellers with its multiculturalism, bohemian lifestyle, and gorgeous architecture. Back then, the flourishing Romanian capital was experiencing the greatest cultural boom of its history, and was known as the Paris of the East.
This tour is structured as a story, taking you along the famous Victory Boulevard and through the fully restored Old Town.
Each major attraction has its own tale to tell, allowing you to go back in time and discover the social and cultural life of the era. You’ll see beautiful palaces and historical buildings in a range of architectural styles: neoclassical, art nouveau, baroque, and Byzantine.
The Old Town is an area that truly resembles the charm of the Belle Époque: old street lamps, vintage cafés, bistros, and lounges nestled within 18th-century houses, and street musicians playing violins.
Take our Belle Époque tour for a journey back in time… To the era of the tango and Charleston dances, jockey clubs, fringed dresses, and secret love letters!
