What to expect

From the heart of Bucharest to the tastes of the country, this tour takes you on a historical, architectural, and culinary adventure through the many faces (and tastes) of the city!

Your adventure begins in University Square, the geographical and administrative heart of the city. The first stop will be an exquisite turn-of-the-century townhouse, lovingly restored but with the sense of elegant decay so typical of Bucharest. Under trees and vines, you’ll sample a selection of Romanian entrees (gustari), including goat cheese, cured meat, spring onions, homemade bread, and locally brewed craft beers.

The tour continues to the Armenian quarter. Based around the Armenian church, their mahalla (neighbourhood) features a spectacular variety of architectural styles from all over Europe and the Ottoman empire. Crossing into the old Jewish quarter, you’ll then stop for the most famous street food, covrigi, before heading to discover one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of the city: Mantuleasa.

After exploring 19th-century and inter-war Bucharest, you'll stop for an ice-cold Romanian weissbier, and then you'll experience the quintessential Bucharest public transport: a short ride on a tram. Rattling along the famous Mosilor Street, you’ll enter into Communist Bucharest, with its regimented blocks and housing projects, as you make your way to the famous Obor Market. This is the largest and most famous of all the peasant markets in Bucharest.
