Hello! I am Silvana, a passionate tour guide at your service. Welcome to Romania! Let my young demeanor not fool you - I am a BA in Art History with a master's degree in Museum Studies and a keen interest in social history, responsible tourism, and lifelong learning (among other things). I see myself really privileged to have such a wonderful profession: I get to meet people from all around the world, share quality time & conversations with them, do exciting new things and see the most beautiful places every day. It's not a job, I tell you, it's a dream come true! Why book a tour with me? *Born and raised in Bucharest, I know the city's most surprising details which I am eager to share with you on fun walking tours. *On my private half-day and full-day trips I do my best to provide more than so-called "facts". Instead, I try to offer fresh and nuanced insights into past and present Romania. *I am always up-to-date with all the exciting things around town - on my tours you will get lots of tips about what to see and do while in Bucharest. *Last but not least - all my tours are thoroughly prepared in advance and will be carefully adapted to your specific needs and interests. Got any questions or suggestions? Or want to book a tour? Drop me a line and I will get back to you in no time! Credentials: National Tourism Guide certified by the Romanian Ministry of Tourism BA in Art History and Theory (University of Bucharest) MA in Museum Studies and Critical Theory (Universitat AutĂČnoma de Barcelona) I do not drive but can accompany you in your vehicle. FYI: Most museums in Bucharest are closed on Mondays & public holidays and some (like the Palace of Parliament and the Ceausescu Mansion) have their own guides for interior visits.

A shepherd community turned oriental capital. . . called Little Paris of the East!. . . yet famous for the second largest building in the world?! Who could make sense of all this in just a few hours?! Why. . . you, of course. With a little help from a local friend-to-be. :) The best way to truly understand Bucharest is through the eyes of somebody that not only knows its secrets but also loves its chaotic ways. That would be me, a Bucharester licensed in art history and passionate about the city's many surprising details. I will be more than glad to share with you the stories and numbers and most importantly - my joy of walking its streets and admiring its unique mix of. . . pretty much everything. Join me on a relaxed trip through the city's oldest parts, where history was written. It might not be Florence or London, but I'll make sure you have: a wonderful time, yummy traditional food, and great photos. Who knows - maybe you'll also fall in love with this peculiar place called Bucharest.
On this walking tour, I will take you to all the major sights including: * The Romanian Athenaeum (optional interior visit; closed during concerts and rehearsals) * The former Royal Palace, nowadays National Art Museum (closed on Mondays & Tuesdays) * Revolution Square * University Square * the Old Town with interior visits to various 19th-century inns and the most important medieval churches in Bucharest * Union Square from where you have a nice view of the Palace of Parliament Keep in mind that this is no more than a proposed itinerary. Flexibility is my middle name so do not hesitate to write to me should you have any particular interests related to the downtown area of Bucharest.
