Reviews about Tours & Day Trips in Bucharest

It was luck that I've found this tour. We had a fantastic tour with Daniel on a warm Saturday morning. Loved the food and the local perspective as well as all the interesting information. It wasn't just a preconstructed tour, he reacted to our questions and knew a lot. The guide also considered allergies and had ideas of alternatives.

Ilana gave a great tour. I loved all of the history she presented as part of the journey. I felt like I got to know how the citizens lived their day today lives. I would definitely recommend this tour. The food was delicious as well.

Marius at Romanian Friend suggested this when I told him about our plans and we loved it, it was the highlight of our family trip in Romania! the guide was very friendly and took us to places we would have never found on our own, or thought about going to, and gave us a nice presentation of the other side of Bucharest. and the food was great too! a real off-the-beaten path experience, thanks!

we were looking to get out of Bucharest and be in nature on our last day so we contacted Romanian Friend on Friday, they quickly replied and on Saturday we went on this tour with Oana. the trip was great, Snagov forest is wonderful and we had a great time. the trails were not difficult at all and the bikes were proper and well maintained. thank you!

We greatly enjoyed our food walking tour! By far the best day we spent on our visit to Bucharest! So many tasty things and super well organized.

The tour was great! The guide was informative and I learned so much more than I already knew. She was able to answer my questions and give me advice on restaurants, getting back to the airport, and food. I learned so much about the history of Romania and its people.

**A cultural insight into history, neighbourhoods and food with a well-informed and personable guide** Bogdan met us outside the National Theatre with snacks and talked us through the relevant history of Bucharest and Romania which we needed for context of our visit through inner-city neighbourhoods and then onto a delightful, low-key restaurant for a platter of local foods. We then caught the tram to the food market where Bogdan talked us through the various produce/provenance and bought fresh fruits/dessert to accompany our last stop at a super-popular sausage/meat stand next to the market. We sat down and enjoyed the sausages/fruit/baclava and local beer. Before catching the tram back, Bogdan bought delicious doughnuts. All highly recommended! Thank you Bogdan!

Romanian friend made planning a bespoke tour that included everything my wife and I wanted very easy, and I cannot praise our guide Bogdan enough. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly. Making our tour a real delight! Would happily recommend these services!

Alina made our visit to the Parliment building and Nicolae Ceaușescu's home seemless. We really enjoyed the extra time Alina took to explain the boulevards, monuments and the whole story of the revolution at the square. The extra bonus was their car was comfortable and they brought communist era chocolate !!

We really enjoyed our time with Anita, it combined my 2 favorite things, history and food. Anita was very generous with her time and made stops based on our interests. We had wonderful conversations and I'd highly recommend this tour. It allowed us to see sides of Bucharest tourists would not likely encounter on their own.

Best Day Trips & Tours in Bucharest

Bucharest has many popular tourist attractions and sights that will surely keep its visitors busy for at least 3 days. Being Romania’s largest city, it’s also diverse with lots of things to do, events, places to hang out, coffee shops and more. Romania’s capital city will also please any type of traveler who will find the best day trips according to his or her interests!

There are a number of Bucharest tours that will guide you through the communist history & landmarks as well as French-inspired 19th-century architecture. You'll also find a talented local cultural scene along with street art & abandoned buildings, hip urban spots, green parks, and hidden areas that will provide shelter from the bustling city center.

You can certainly go on a number of walking tours in Bucharest but if you've got limited time then you may decide to explore only the central parts of Bucharest and reserve the rest for a full day trip. So here are our choices for the top things to see on a Bucharest city break.

Main tourist sights in Bucharest

Undoubtedly, the main highlights and tourist attractions in Bucharest are the Palace of Parliament, the Romanian Village Museum, the Peasant Museum, ancient Orthodox churches, and the Old Town District of Lipscani. You will find that the majority of Bucharest city tours cover most of these. If you have just one day in the capital of Romania make sure to get in the highlights!

• Discover the Palace of Parliament & Bucharest's communist history

Holding a rightfully-acquired first place is the famous Palace of Parliament also known as House of People, as former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu liked to call it. This massive building will surely impress tourists and visitors, whether from the outside or inside.

With more than one thousand rooms and impressive amounts of marble, hardwood, glass crystals, and gold, this outstanding attraction presents a unique glimpse into Romania’s history. Its construction started in the early 80s and was overseen by the-then presidential couple Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu who played an essential role in lavishly decorating it, while the Romanian people were suffering from shortages of food and basic necessities.

The Parliament House can be visited only through an official guided tour that, unfortunately, will not tell you much about Romanian history. But on our private Essential Communism Tour you'll learn about that and also take a short trip to Ceausescu’s private home, Vila Primaverii, a ‘must-see’ for those interested in a communist Bucharest history.

• Catch a glimpse of rural life at the Romanian Village Museum

Despite being in Romania’s busiest city, you can also get a glimpse of the beautiful Romanian village life and our rich rural traditions and customs in a great way. Tucked away from crowded boulevards you will find the outdoor Romanian Village Museum. It is located close to Herestrau Park, and contains life-sized replicas of village houses from traditional and representative regions of Romania.

That's why this is my favorite place to recommend to those short on time or on a quick city break in Bucharest who want to find out more about Romanian culture.

A guided tour of the museum is one of the best things you can do while in Bucharest, as it will swiftly whisk you away from the bustling city life and transport you back in time to a place where everything was centered around community and traditions.

• Discover Romanian history

You can also consider visiting the Romanian Peasant Museum, a great place to get a glimpse of how our resourceful, self-sustainable ancestors lived for hundreds of years in perfect harmony with nature. Finally, there is the National History Museum where you should not miss the collection of golden bracelets that belonged to our Dacian ancestors.

• Visit Ancient Orthodox churches

A Bucharest day trip is never complete without a chance to view some of the beautiful Orthodox churches in the city. There are lots of them, and some are even considered centuries-old monuments that carry a lot of history on their painted walls.

If you only have the time to see one church during your Bucharest city tour, the Mihai Voda church is the best option. It is the oldest and most well-preserved church in Bucharest, while also being a rare example of medieval religious architecture. The church was constructed in 1594 by Mihai Viteazul, who was an important figure in Romanian history.

If you want to visit these impressive churches we prepare an organized tour so that you have someone to show you all the details you'd miss otherwise. The Mihai Voda church has many stories to tell!

• Eat, drink, and have fun in Bucharest's Old Town

Now it’s time to discover the best places for a fun time while in Bucharest, and the Old Town, located in the city center, is the place to be. The area has developed a very solid reputation for good restaurants, bars, clubs, and nightlife. Some of the favourites include Grand Café Van Gogh, Hanul lui Manuc, Caru’ cu Bere, The Gin Factory, Interbelic, Club A, Shoteria - just to name a few! Our favorite place for evening drinks is Linea Closer to the Moon - check it out!

By day you can explore the cobbled streets and admire the beautiful Baroque-Renaissance architecture before stopping at one of the many cafes or restaurants.

You certainly must try Romanian traditional cuisine: cabbage rolls (sarmale) served with polenta are a popular dish for anyone visiting Bucharest, as are ciorba dishes (sour soups). Romanians also make great coffee, so you’re in for a treat!

In the evening, the Old Town transforms into a party center and the music will be playing until the early hours of the morning. If you are looking for great nightlife and a fun place for your weekend getaway - then Bucharest is your city!

Our Bucharest pub crawling tour and craft beer tour are a great way for you to experience all this!

Things to do for 1-2 days in Bucharest

Walk along the wide boulevards. One of the things we recommend you do while in Bucharest is to go for a walk (or perhaps a bike tour) along the long promenades, the wide-boulevards crisscrossing the most important city of Romania. On your list should be Calea Victoriei (Victory Boulevard), Kisselef Road (Calea Kisselef), or Regina Elisabeta Boulevard (Queen Elizabeth Road).

The most famous and historically significant street in Romania is surely Calea Victoriei. The best way to explore Romania’s most famous street is by foot, but be prepared for a long walk as the road is a full 3km in distance! On the street, you will find landmarks such as the Grigore Antipa Museum of Natural History and the Cantacuzino Palace (don't confuse with Cantacuzino Castle in Busteni, another great place to visit on a day trip).

Not to mention some beautiful houses, churches and also shops! Not too far from Calea Victoriei is one of the most ‘Instagramable’ places in Bucharest; a passage filled with multi-coloured umbrellas. This is a popular instagram spot and, of course, where most travel bloggers flock to!

If you continue along Calea Victoriei, it will lead you to Revolution Square, the place where Nicolae Ceausescu’s regime crumbled on the cold morning of December 21, 1989, the start of the Romanian Revolution. The best way to find out more about the events in 1989 is on our Bucharest Untold tour.

• Discover Bucharest's artistic side

For those interested in the cultural and artistic side of Bucharest, tourists will be happy to hear that there are many art galleries in town.

The most prestigious with renowned painters and collections include Zorzini Gallery, H'art Gallery, Anaid, and Artmark. A particular spot belongs to Galateca Gallery which specializes in avant-garde design. Of course, the National Art Museum located in the former Royal Palace building, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art hosted by a wing of the Palace of Parliament are a must for art-lovers.

• Observe Bucharest's architecture and city landscapes

Observe and admire the superb and sometimes peculiar architecture of the various buildings and important edifices you will see on your way, such as the Romanian Athenaeum, considered to be the most beautiful building in the Romanian capital.

Constructed in 1888 as a concert hall, the Romanian Athenaeum is an architectural combination of neoclassic and eclectic elements. Unfortunately, you can only enter during concerts and events but you may be able to view the foyer if you are lucky! Some Bucharest tours can also guarantee entry. If you happen to venture into the gardens of the Athenaeum for a spot of sightseeing, you will find there numerous statues of important cultural and political Romanian personalities.

Did you know that Bucharest was also known as ‘Little Paris’ during the interwar period?

And the easiest way to see this is through its architecture, but there’s more. Bucharest has its very own Arc de Triomphe, which resembles its more famous Parisian brother! The Arcul de Triumf (in Romanian) is also host to a small museum where visitors view exhibitions such as The Great War of Reunification of the Nation, Heraldry of the Great Boyar Families (bronze effigies, photographs), The Arch of Triumph in Images (photographs, all the historical models), and The Great Union of 1918 (crowns and royal scepter reproduced).

Our Bucharest Little Paris tour is a walking small group tour designed to give you a taste of all of the above!

• Enjoy a day in Bucharest's massive parks

A leisurely stroll (or bike ride) in the magnificent parks of Bucharest is an experience not to be missed, especially in the summer season, when the parks are green and full of life. You will certainly return to your home city feeling very jealous!

Bucharest has a great number of parks and green spaces, but Herestrau Park stands out as the best among them! The park boasts a huge lake and also its very own island, Rose Island. There are lots of pathways for running, cycling and also playgrounds for children.

Once you reach the northern section of the lake you’ll find a large number of cafes, restaurants, and clubs. Most likely the widest range of dining choices that you will ever find in a park!

Not exactly a park, the Vacaresti Delta has been declared the biggest urban biosphere in Europe! The reserve stretches over 190 hectares and is home to various species of birds and small mammals, such as foxes, otters, and more. The intriguing thing about this biopark is that it was not intended to be a natural reserve at all.

In communist Bucharest, several infrastructure projects were planned for the area, including an artificial basin. After the anti-communist revolution in 1989, all plans were abandoned and nature eventually reclaimed the land as its own and turned it into a beautiful place for nature lovers!

Day Trips from Bucharest

For those looking to get outside of the city and visit its surroundings for a great time, there are some very excellent options to consider for a full-day trip.

Bucharest tours are a good introduction to Romania but if you want to really understand Romanian culture and its people you need to venture a bit further away from the capital. This may mean that you will need to join a Bucharest city tour bus or hop on public transportation for some fast-forward travel time, so you can also discover other parts of Romania while in this beautiful country.

The most popular day tours are just a few hours' drive away from the capital city and will either bring you close to the mountains or, if you consider yourself a beach person, take you to the Black Sea in the city of Constanta. The choice is yours, and we are here to make your stay in Romania feel like a dream.

• Bucharest locals’ favourite getaway

A short drive to Mogosoaia and Snagov will lead you to the locals’ favourite weekend getaway spots, with plenty of nature and history, too! So, if you want to blend in with the locals and see how they spend their weekends, a visit to Mogosoaia and Snagov is one of the best Bucharest day trips to consider.

Mogosoaia Palace is representative of Romania’s 17-18th century feudal lords and displays a unique architectural style. And beyond dense forests lies Snagov Lake, with the 15th century Snagov Monastery in the middle of it where Vlad the Impaler (the real-life inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula) is supposedly buried.

• Bran Castle tours from Bucharest

Speaking of Dracula and lords, Romania’s most beautiful castles, Peles Castle (one and a half hours drive) and the famous Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle, two and a half hours drive), can be visited on one of the most popular day tours from Bucharest, which will also take you to the charming medieval city of Brasov.

You'll find lots of companies doing big bus tours with this itinerary but we don't like that and only offer a private tour so you take your time to explore these incredible sights.

So, you can switch from admiring the medieval walls on a Bran Castle tour to reaching the vibrant Council Square in the town center of Brasov in under a one-hour drive. While in Brasov, you can go on a lovely uphill walk to the Tampa Peak to see the city from above. You can also reach Tampa Peak with a cable car.

Another must-do in the beautiful city of Brasov is to visit the Black Church and admire its medieval walls, with over 600 years old history.

Even if Peles Castle isn’t as well-known as Bran Castle, it’s an impressive construction. It was constructed by King Carol I of Romania as a summer residence and its inauguration was in 1883. This is the favourite place for many Romanians for a great weekend getaway, not only for its architecture but also for its beautiful surroundings.

Furthermore, Peles Castle is located close to the old royal train station, which was exclusively reserved for the Royal Family and its guests at the summer royal residence.

• Other best places to visit on a day trip from Bucharest

Close to Sinaia, where Peles Castle is located, is the region of Dealu Mare, known for its vineyards and premium wine producers. This is the best place to go for a wine tasting trip in Romania.

We highly recommend choosing one of our guided Transylvania tours from Bucharest if you want to see all these sights in one day, otherwise, it might be a bit challenging for a do-it-yourself tour, especially with regular buses.

On your way to Brasov, you can also make a stop at an astonishing place, the Slanic Prahova salt mine is the biggest salt mine in Europe. Turda Salt Mine, closer to Cluj-Napoca, may be more popular but it's too far away to visit during a day trip. Nevertheless, Slanic Salt Mine will not disappoint!

Poenari Castle - where Vlad the Impaler actually lived - is another interesting sight to visit. It's a favorite place for those interested in Dracula history and legends even if this medieval fortress is now in ruins. And if combined with the famous Transfagarasan Road (open for driving only from July - October) then this will be a great day trip out of Bucharest!

If you don’t want to go to the most famous castles in Romania to avoid the crowds, you can also choose a small group tour from Bucharest with other sights in the area, such as Cantacuzino Castle, 7 Stairs Canyon or even a hiking trip to Bucegi National Park where you can see the Romanian Sphynx!

Finally, another major tourist attraction in Romania that can be visited on a day trip from Bucharest is the famous Transfagarasan Road – the ‘best road in the world’ according to Top Gear, which crosses the impressive Fagaras Mountains.

Located 250 km away from Bucharest on winding roads leading deep into the Carpathian Mountains, the road is open only from June until September and is accessible only by car. On your way there, don’t miss Curtea de Arges Monastery, a major Orthodox and historic sight. The Transfagarasan Road is one of the best tours to the famous Transylvania from Bucharest.

• The Black Sea and Constanta: Fun by the beach

You may have heard about Romania’s Black Sea – yes, just 220 km away from Bucharest is the city of Constanta and the golden fine sands of Mamaia, the most famous beach resort in Romania. Close to the city of Constanta by the Black Sea Coast you'll find plenty of resorts with lots of options based on your interests, requirements and budget.

There's something for everyone here. So, for example, if you are looking for something different, the main road in Mamaia will lead you to less crowded but wilder beaches with unique beauty, such as Corbu and Vadu.

So if you’re longing to see the amazing view of the sea, hear and feel its breeze, take a boat ride, and even find out how the ancient port of Tomis helped spread multiculturalism, tolerance, and commerce in the region – consider a small group day tour from Bucharest to the Black Sea coast.

And if you want to have a proper holiday by the sea, you'll find a fair share of resorts to choose from for every budget type.

On your journey from Bucharest to Constanta, you will have the opportunity to cross the Danube River and admire the Anghel Saligny bridge, built between 1890 and 1895.

• The Danube Delta: Nature's wonderland

How about a tour from Bucharest to the Danube Delta? The second-largest river delta in Europe! The UNESCO biosphere Danube Delta is further away from Bucharest and harder to access so you will need at least 2 days to learn about the wonders and sights of this great place. We certainly wouldn’t consider it a day trip from Bucharest but instead a guided bus tour for those who have more time to spend in Romania.

• from Romania to Bulgaria in no time: Veliko Tarnovo and Tsaravets medieval fortress

A one-day trip from Bucharest can take you across the Romanian border, to Veliko Tarnovo, a beautiful medieval town in northern Bulgaria. This small town is rich in history and is home to one of the most beautiful medieval fortresses in Europe, Tsaravets.

Located 100 kilometers from Veliko Tarnovo, you'll find a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo. This is where the first hermits excavated their cells and churches during the 12th century. The murals from the 14th century bear witness to the extraordinary talent of the artists associated with the Tarnovo School of Painting.

Are there any private Bucharest tours available?

Yes, numerous private Bucharest tours are available for visitors who want to explore the city more personalized and exclusively. Private tours offer a range of advantages over group tours, as they allow for a more tailored and flexible itinerary, personalized attention from a local expert guide, and a more intimate and immersive experience overall.

Private Bucharest tours can be customized to fit different interests and preferences, whether you are interested in history, architecture, food, culture, or any other aspect of the city. Some of the most popular private tours in Bucharest include walking tours of the historic center, guided visits to museums and landmarks, culinary tours to sample traditional Romanian dishes, and day trips to nearby attractions such as the Snagov Monastery, the Bran Castle, or the Peles Castle .

To find and book private Bucharest tours , several options are available online. Many tour operators and travel agencies offer private tours that can be booked in advance, often with the option to customize the itinerary and select the preferred language and duration of the tour. Alternatively, you can opt for a private guide offering a more personalized and flexible experience, often at a more affordable price than a tour company.

When choosing a private Bucharest tour, it is crucial to consider factors such as the guide's qualifications, experience, and language skills, as well as the availability of transportation and other logistics. By researching and planning, you can find the perfect private tour that meets your needs and expectations and allows you to discover the best of Bucharest in a way that suits you best.

One of the benefits of a private Bucharest tour is the flexibility it offers. Unlike group tours that follow a fixed schedule and itinerary, private tours can be tailored to your interests and preferences, allowing you to explore the city at your own pace and focus on the sights and experiences that matter most to you. Whether you want to spend more time in a particular neighbourhood, visit a museum or landmark not on the standard tourist circuit, or try a local restaurant in Bucharest off the beaten path, a private tour can help you get the most out of your time in Bucharest.

Another advantage of a private Bucharest tour is the opportunity to interact with a local expert guide who can provide insider knowledge and insights into the city's history, culture, and way of life. A knowledgeable guide can bring the city to life through stories, anecdotes, and personal experiences, giving you a deeper understanding and appreciation of Bucharest's past and present.

Personalized attention is another aspect that makes private tours an excellent choice for visitors. With a private guide, you'll have their undivided attention and can ask questions, seek recommendations, and engage in conversations tailored to your interests and preferences. This personalized attention can help you build a deeper connection with the city and make your visit more memorable and enjoyable.

In conclusion, a private tour is an excellent option if you are looking for a personalized and exclusive way to explore Bucharest. Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a small group, a private tour can offer flexibility, local expertise, and personalized attention that larger tour companies cannot match. By choosing a private tour, you can customize your itinerary to your interests, learn from a knowledgeable local guide, and enjoy a more intimate and rewarding travel experience.

So why not consider booking a private Bucharest tour for your next trip to this fascinating city? You'll discover hidden gems and create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

. From testimonials “It was a special treat to spend the day with her”

“Throughout our tour, Cristina seemed as interested in seeing and talking about Romanian sites and history as we were in hearing about them”

“I was fascinated and moved”

“She is a genuine person and she can make you feel very strong emotions about her country by sharing her love for Romania with you”

“Cristina, I should be the one to be thanking you for enduring the cold with soaked boots. And the walking and talking was made doubly pleasurable by not only the historical information, but your open conversation about your wonderful country. I felt that I had heard an honest and heart felt opinion of your world and concerns. This was as enlightening as your insight to the history and people of Romania.”

“You are amazing! We are home now and truly of everywhere we went in Europe we loved Romania the best. You are an incredible ambassador for your people and culture.”

Your Bucharest tour begins in the political centre of the city, Revolution Square (formerly known as Palace Square), which has witnessed most of the important events in Romanian history. It was from here in 1989 that dictator Ceausescu made his ill-advised rallying speech to a crowd that quickly turned on him, instigating the Romanian revolution. 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.  And in such a historical spot, it’s appropriate that we have a historical treat. We’ll indulge in a covrig, a daily salty snack for most Romanians that was likely introduced by Hapsburg or German merchants in medieval times.  Next up, we’ll leave the square and head south along Victory Street, named after the spectacular victory of the new Romanian nation in the 1877 War of Independence.  However, full unification of the three Romanian principalities did not take place until 1918, which explains why each region has its own distinct character, traditions, and cuisine — like sweet for Moldova, earthy for Transylvania, and spicy for Muntenia.  This stretch is also home to many spectacular landmarks of the inter-war period, including the 'Telephone Palace,' Military Circle, and former National Theatre, as well as the beautiful church of Kretzulescu, one of the most famous in Bucharest.  From Victory Street, we’ll head into an older Bucharest, exploring the numerous paths and passageways of the Old Town. This is the heart of medieval Bucharest, the literal crossroads between East and West, where Ottoman pashas rubbed shoulders with Transylvanian princes, and churches and mosques stood side by side. Here you can witness the many diverse influences on Romanian food — the Balkan mici (skinless sausages), the Ottoman sarmale (stuffed cabbage leaves), Russian borscht and ciorba (sour soups), and Austro-Hungarian schnitzel. Among the many sights and stories of Old Town are lavish interiors and princely courts, the exquisite calm of an orthodox monastery and the great wooden inn of Hanul Lui Manuc.  En route to our final destination, we’ll get a look at the famed People's Palace, the centre of Ceausescu’s megalomaniac attempts to re-shape the city, and the second largest building in the world (only the Pentagon is bigger!).   Finally, our Bucharest tour will end with a sampling of the culinary specialties at a traditional hanu, or 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 — giving you a 'taste tour' of the history and geography of the region.  It was said that during the time of the ancient Romanians (the Dacians), so much wine was drunk by the people that their leader, Burebista, banned its production entirely. But the supremely inventive Dacians immediately began brewing beer — thus, you’ll have a chance to lubricate your palate with both fine Romanian wines and/or locally brewed beer, just like the Dacians would have wanted!

Best things to see and do in Bucharest

The capital of Romania is one of the great unknown of Europe, but increasingly, one of the most interesting and attractive tourist destinations of the continent, for its great beauty, an interesting social life and a wide cultural offer. Located in the Muntenia region - on the banks of the Dâmbovița river - in the southeast of the country, this city has ample green areas and an interesting heritage that is worth visiting. A city without a large population - which barely reaches two million inhabitants - and a pleasant climate throughout the year, makes it easy to enjoy this interesting city, perfect for planning a tourist getaway of a few days. Apart from the atmosphere, the museums and the heritage of the "small Parisian", the visit to the city implies discovering its gastronomy, really varied and especially recommendable. Dishes as recommended as rice wrapped in cabbage "Sarmale", the typical Romanian sausages "Mititei", traditional mash or "Mamaliga", or traditional skewers "Frigarui" The Romanian city has a large number of very interesting places, especially recommended for tourists who are approaching this European destination for the first time. One of the best ways to discover this city is to choose the free walking tour in Bucharest , which runs through the most important places to see such as the Curtea Veche Palace “Corte Vieja”, the megalomano and neoclassical Palace of the Parliament of the communist stage , the recommended Bulevardul Unirii or the Stavropoleos Monastery. Other points of great interest in the city are the Cathedral and Patriarchal Palace, the Carturesti bookstore, the University Square or the Sfantul Anton church. Enjoying the city's nightlife means approaching the Lipscani neighborhood, full of small venues with a great atmosphere. Herastrau Park and Cismigiu Park, as well as the Bellu Cemetery, complete the interesting offer of interesting sites to see in the Romanian city. Free tours in Bucharest are an excellent option for people who want to know the city for the first time, visiting the most important points and discovering the wonders of this great European city. An excellent way to choose a different alternative to traditional visits, which barely cover the interesting cultural and heritage offer of the Romanian capital.

In addition, we recommend you check out the opinions and reviews that other walkers have left on our page about the free walking tours they have done in Bucharest with a local guide. Other cities of interest where you might enjoy a guided tour with a local guide are Brașov, Sovata, Sofia or Skopje.

A brilliant, informative, and very fun day trip to Transylvania!

I went to Bucharest as a solo female traveler and wanted to find some way to be able to experience Transylvania without all of the hard work of catching trains! This was perfect.

Wonderful guide…..outstanding history lesson!

This trip was amazing and Serban, as a guide and driver was unsurpassed. This was one of the most pleasant and informational tours we have ever done.

An exciting, insightful experience

Our guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She gave us an excellent historical background of the region and the sites that we visited. She provided us with excellent photos of the castles, and had several good recommendations for how to spend our free time in Brasov.

giornata fantastica grazie anche a una guida fantastica

utto funziona, tutto è gestito e organizzato, né tempi morti ne dispersioni, simpatia e contenuti, devo davvero ringraziare la nostra guida per la fantastica opportunità che ci ha dato: avvicinarci non solo a dei luoghi ma a una cultura a una storia a delle tradizioni…

Day well spent

This was a private tour for us (family of 17). The guide Boogie was one of the best I have come across. Very interactive and pleasant personality. He made our trip fun. Rightly paced, comfortable bus, extra perks /accommodations to suit our likings. Smiling face inspite of delay late in the day.

Taylor Fritz vs Federico Coria prediction

A grueling encounter is on the cards between Taylor Fritz and Federico Coria in the first round of the 2024 French Open. Both players will be eager to make a significant impact at the event.

Fritz has been one of the most consistent players on the men's tour this year. He's chalked up 10 wins from his last 15 matches on clay and looks poised to make a deep run in Paris. The 26-year-old is known for his steady all-around game, high tactical acumen and remarkable awareness on the court.

Coria, on the contrary, has played most of his matches on clay this year. With quality wins over the likes of Sebastian Baez, Cameron Norrie and Frances Tiafoe , the Argentine will fancy his chances of making a strong start in Paris. He likes to play an aggressive brand of tennis and is known for his creative shot-making skills on the court.

Ultimately, the player who begins well and holds their nerve during crucial moments will have the upper hand in this bout. Considering their record on clay and recent results on tour, Fritz will undoubtedly be the favorite to solve this riddle and begin his campaign with a win.

Pick : Fritz to win in four sets.
