Hi, I'm Laura, I am the author and promoter of the Bucharest Step by Step concept and I very much enjoy organizing thematic and custom-made walking tours in and around Bucharest. I LOVE MY CITY BECAUSE: Bucharest may not strike you as a glamorous or grandiose European capital, with a meticulously preserved architectural heritage. But it is precisely this unselfconsciousness coupled with spectacular contrasts and an incredible vitality that makes Bucharest such a unique place. ONE OF THE THINGS I ENJOY THE MOST: to uncover hidden gems and cool spots off the beaten path and share them with tourists from all around the world. Why choose me as a tour guide? - I am always up-to-date with all the new hip places in town - all my tours are carefully adapted to suit your specific interests and needs - on my tours you will receive lots of information and recommendations about what to see and do while in Bucharest Join me on a discovery tour and you will surely come to love this scarred, chaotic, eclectic but fascinating and vibrant city. Welcome to Bucharest! - National Guide License - BA in Foreign Languages (German, English); sworn translator/ interpreter International experience: - ERASMUS mobility scholarship, Ruhr-Bochum University, Germany - CEEPUS Scholarship in Rijeka, Croatia - OEAD Scholarship in Vienna, Austria I do not drive but I collaborate with several transport companies. The Palace of Parliament & the Ceausescu Mansion have their own guides for the interior visits.

Overview of your Bucharest tour

Find the essence of Bucharest in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Hear the stories behind the city's most emblematic buildings and sights and understand the part they played in the events that have shaped its turbulent past or the more recent Romanian history. We'll start at the Romanian Athenaeum (but let's discuss what's the most convenient place for you) and we'll walk along Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue). I will share with you how to discern between the puzzling architectural mix of Brancovan, Neoclassical, Belle Epoque, and Art Deco styles while discovering the social and economic background of the times when they emerged. We'll then enter and walk around in the Old City Center and after that, the old or new Bucharest will no longer be a mystery and you'll understand a good chunk of what living in Romania means. On our way, we'll stop at some of the greatest cake shops in Bucharest. I'm very curious if you can resist temptation - I bet I won't (be warned, the cakes are not included in the price)
