Get to know Bucharest, the former “Little Paris,” through the eyes of a local on this engaging and well-paced 3-hour walking tour. Often associated with vibrant nightlife, the city hides a fascinating historical puzzle shaped by royalty, communism and modern life — and this tour helps you put the pieces together.

Starting in Revolution Square, in front of the former Royal Palace, we explore elegant boulevards, romantic alleys and the lively historical center. Along the way, you will discover impressive architecture, ancient churches and unexpected corners that reveal the true character of Romania’s capital.

Highlights include the Romanian Athenaeum Concert Hall, the charming Stavropoleos Church (1724), the ruins of the Old Princely Court of Vlad the Impaler, and Manuc’s Inn, one of the oldest surviving buildings in Bucharest, now home to restaurants, cafés and bars.

The tour includes regular stops for photography and storytelling, as well as time to enjoy a short break for a snack, a beer or a glass of wine, just like locals do. More than a sightseeing walk, this experience offers cultural insight, historical context and a genuine connection to the city.

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors and curious travelers who want to discover Bucharest in an authentic, relaxed and informative way.
