Beskrivelse

Take a stroll through Bucharest on this tour that will fill your head with facts and your stomach with delicious Romanian food!

Your adventure begins in the political center of the city, Revolution Square (formerly known as Palace Square), which has witnessed most of the important events in Romanian history. Surrounding the square are several other notable landmarks, including the former Royal Palace, the Athenaeum concert hall, and Athenee Palace, the heart of espionage and intrigue in the years between the wars. Here you'll taste a daily salty snack for most Romanians that was likely introduced by Hapsburg or German merchants in medieval times.

The tour will continue along Victory Street, named after the spectacular victory of the new Romanian nation in the 1877 War of Independence. This stretch is also home to many spectacular landmarks of the inter-war period, including the 'Telephone Palace,' the Military Circle, and the former National Theatre, as well as the beautiful church of Kretzulescu, one of the most famous in Bucharest.

From Victory Street, you'll head into an older Bucharest, exploring the numerous paths and passageways of the Old Town. This is the heart of medieval Bucharest. Then, you'll get a look at the famed People's Palace, the center of Ceausescu's megalomaniac attempts to re-shape the city, and the second-largest building in the world (only the Pentagon is bigger).

The tour will end with a sampling of the culinary specialties at a traditional inn, that's widely considered to be one of the most beautiful in the city. You'll dig into a three-course meal with platters of local delicacies and Romanian wines and/or locally brewed beer.
