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.

We offer daily two free tours . In different occasions we run seasonal thematic trails or charity tours where you have the chance to support local causes. 

The “Story of Bucharest” is your best introduction to the city connecting dots to the full context of Romanian history .

We stroll in the cobbled streets of the old town visiting the oldest church, Manuc’s Inn , Stavropoleos Monastery , Caru cu Bere beer house, Lipscani street , CEC Palace , University Square and many other hidden stories about the heart of the city. This tour is available in weekends in Spanish too.

“From Monarchy to Communism ” is our second trail getting out of the pedestrian old town on the most elegant boulevard of the capital – Calea Victoriei . This itinerary is a “ zoom in” in the most interesting century of the city :  flourishing with the first king arrival, bombed in the World Wars and facing churches, French palaces and communist institutions . You will meet our four kings and their struggles in the WWs, in love and finally in the forced exile. We will imagine the fancy life back then as we walk by the Royal Palace , the Romanian Atheneum , Cismigiu Garden or secret passages. 

Local tips and insights will spice up your experience in Bucharest with fun and emotion , making it a holiday to remember!

Meet our guides, why choose our bucharest tours, super friendly local guides, consultancy and reccomendations for free, small things to taste for all the tours, for premium tours, 100% money back guarantee, discover bucharest through an unique experience., bucharest by foot story.

It all started on a Sunday, at a family lunch, when, after a good meal and a glass of wine, our parents accidentally, but call it fate, told us stories from old #Bucharest, about their daily lives, cultural events, and urban myths. 

We suddenly realized that we know almost nothing about our city, Bucharest, so we took the decision to find out more. 

As any lazy “student”, we thought that it’s easier to learn it from others than to search it for ourselves, so we started taking part in different Bucharest tours, some general, other thematic. 

Another stroke of fate, because the passion was born. After every tour, we were spending time discussing what we found out, double-checking the information, finding even more interesting information about architectural or historical sites. Until one day when accidentally, but call it fate, one guide asked us if we are there to spy for our own private tours. 

An idea was born, yes we want our own private tours, but different, tours based on stories, personal memories, and feelings. 

From one blog to another, from one documentary to another, from one old newspaper to another, from our parents’ and grandparents’ stories, from our childhood during communism and from our numerous strolls along the streets of Bucharest, we managed to create unique tours , to include hidden fascinating sites known only by us, to see beyond the beaten touristic paths. 

#Unbelievable, right? But call it fate.

BTrip Tour Guide

Hello! I am a full time licensed guide and I can tell you that I enjoy every moment of it. Bucharest, the city where I live, is a constant source of inspiration and awe due to its past, architecture, culture and people, something I would love to share with you and make sure that you take in the best that this city has to offer.

Having a BA in Marketing and a MA in European Studies, I have used the knowledge obtained to paint a comprehensive image of Romania during my tours, which allowed my tourists to understand various aspects of life here. From my travelling experiences, I believe that the best way to discover a foreign city during a short trip is by talking to a local guide, who can show the essence of it and identify the parts that are best suited for you.

The tours I can arrange are highly adaptive, according to your needs, interests and time available in the city

“Hello everyone! My name is Maria and I’m a proud, proud member of this cool project called BTrip Bucharest! Besides being a licenced guide, I’m also a history, travel and people enthusiast. I moved to Bucharest 8 years ago and ever since I’ve been in love with this city and its history. So come along and I’ll tell you everything about it!”

“Hello people of the internet, Welcome to the BTrip website! My name is Bianca and I’m one of the guides, obviously. I come from Constance (it’s a city by the seaside–lovely place, you should visit). I moved to Bucharest a few years ago for college, got a BA in English and then discovered BTrip by chance (thanks to the internet). The team graciously agreed to give me a shot and I realized it’s a perfect fit. Two things I’ve always loved are human stories and roaming around the city streets. Being a guide allowed me to discover so much more of this city’s history- it’s beautiful and intricate, yet only slightly deranged. I hope I get to share it with you offline.”

Sever - Ioan

Hi there, Sever – Ioan here! A bucharestian by birth and family tree, I came back to my city after one year as a journalist in mysterious Transylvania. I love to share with you the best places of my birth place: I am seasoning the best sights of Bucharest with the history of my country -before, during and after communism-, with my personal and family stories, as well with some of the best places to enjoy the flavours of our delicious Romanian foods and drinks.

Eager to become your guide in my city,

yours truly Sever – Ioan

Irin is pasionate in the art of storytelling. Living abroad for quite some time gave him the chance to explore what it means to be Romanian and to promote his own culture. Now he is back and excited to promote what Romania has to offer

How To Get Ed Sheeran Tickets In 2024

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

If Sheerios want to see Ed Sheeran live this year, they won’t have to travel all the way to the castle on the hill. The 33-year-old English singer kicked off his +–=÷× tour (also known as the Mathematics tour) in Dublin, Ireland all the way back in April 2022 and he’ll finally end its run in September 2024. There are three cities left for Sheeran to hit in the United States before he visits Europe and South America. Here’s everything we know about how to get Ed Sheeran tickets before the tour ends.

Ed Sheeran is hitting the road again for his "Mathematics" tour, and we've got the details on how to ... [+] get tickets.

The Best Pillows For Side Sleepers, Tested By Our Editors

The 8 best linen sheets for a sweat-free sleep, tested by our experts, where to buy tickets to the “+–=÷×” tour.

You might usually turn to Ticketmaster for concert tickets, but that’s not the best source for tickets to Sheeran’s shows. For one thing, his entire series of show dates isn’t offered on this platform, and some of his dates that are offered on TicketMaster are totally sold out. Here are your options:

• Ticket reseller StubHub has seats for shows like the fast-approaching Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. There, prices start at a little over $200.
• SeatGeek also has tickets to some U.S. shows, the cheapest going for just under $200.
• Both StubHub and SeatGeek have tickets to many of Sheeran’s international concerts as well.
• Many of Sheeran’s shows take place at music festivals that often sell tickets directly on their websites. There are often different options, such as a day pass or a 3-day VIP package. For example, the Boston Calling Musical Festival , where Sheeran will play on May 24, currently has eight ticket options still available, with prices ranging from $194 to nearly $3,000.
• Meanwhile, the BottleRock Napa Valley festival only has single-day general admission tickets left, going for $233 apiece; the four other ticketing options are sold out.

When Do Ed Sheeran Tickets Go On Sale?

Tickets are on sale now and some of the shows—including July 12 in Poland, July 27 in the Czech Republic, and August 3 in Lithuania—have already sold out. Check out reseller sites like StubHub and SeetGeek to try to snag tickets to sold-out shows.

How Much Are Ed Sheeran Tickets?

Sheeran’s three American concerts start around $200 a ticket. For the international stops on his tour, ticket prices vary and use different currencies, based on location. For the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy, there are three different ticket options, ranging from €78 ($83) to €130 ($138). Other festivals have just one ticket option, such as Euro Fan Fest , which starts pricing at €69 ($73).

The cost can also vary depending on whether you buy a standing-only ticket or a seated one. For the Hipodrome show in Croatia , you can stand for €90 ($96) or sit starting at €100 ($106).

Some of Sheeran’s concert tickets are for sale in currencies besides the EUR or USD, including the Stavernfestivalen in Norway. Tickets on the Stavern festival’s website start at 190 NOK, which is the equivalent of about $17. Meanwhile, tickets to the Polsat Plus Arena in Poland cost 344 PLN, or $84. Prices for Sheeran’s Puskas Arena show in Hungary begin at 24,900 HUF, equating to $67.

Of course, currency rates change often, so make sure to check them before you buy your ticket to avoid any unwanted surprises. A good place to do that is using a Euros to Dollar converter or, for other European currency, a converter with rates for over 200 countries.
