Old meets new in this ever-changing city
A city of strong contrasts, it’s impossible to fit Bucharest into any kind of box. Go exploring and you’ll discover delightful surprises in this place that straddles the line between east and west and juxtaposes the old with the new. Bucharest is best explored on foot, so you can take your time to uncover the secrets it holds. It’s not surprising, as you wander down tree-lined boulevards with elegant Belle Époque architecture, that the city is often referred to as ‘Little Paris’. In the historic Lipscani district, you’ll find lively bars and trendy cafes opening out onto narrow, cobblestone streets, pulsing with bohemian energy.
Embark on an exciting tour through some of the more hidden neighborhoods of Bucharest, away from the crowds. Together with a knowledgeable guide, you’ll get to unlock the secrets of various wine types, before enjoying a blind wine tasting in a stylish coffee shop. Keep your Romanian flavour exploration going with a gastro tour that sees you exploring local markets, stopping at popular food trucks and enjoying leisurely bites at slow food-focused restaurants. Throw in a craft beer tasting and it’s the perfect way to spend a day in Bucharest.
A visit to this thriving city is about far more than the excellent cuisine, of course. Head out on an introductory tour of downtown Bucharest with a local expert who will help you discover the colourful mix of architectural styles here as well as some incredible street art. You can even pop into the city’s main art museums.
Bucharest is a city in perpetual transformation, inviting you to allow yourself to be enveloped in its history and tradition and be swept towards its enticing future.
