Description

Bucharest has a lot to offer: the fascinating history, its architecture, its people and places to hang out. However, it can get a bit confusing at first and you will need a bit of assistance to make the best of your time here. That’s why a walking tour of Bucharest could offer you precisely what you need to know in order to understand the city better and its history.

Bucharest was shaped by two major regimes during its past: Monarchy - when the city modernized and flourished, and Communism - when the old was replaced and a new concept of architecture was added. Besides this, it was in Bucharest that the final blow to put an end to Communism was given in the form of the Revolution from December 1989.

This walking tour in Bucharest starts at the beautiful Athenaeum building and ends near the largest building in Europe: the Parliament Palace. On this tour you'll discover many places from the historical center, their stories and much more!
