Overview of your Bucharest tour

To many visitors and tourists, Bucharest consists of a brief visit inside the (in)famous Palace of the Parliament, the Village museum and party until the break of dawn in the rejuvenated old town center. That's why we are on a mission here to put this secret side of Bucharest well and truly on the map. On our hidden history walk, I will help you discover the true charms of the fin de siècle architecture and you'll understand better why Bucharest was once nicknamed the little Paris of the East. So join me, your enthusiast local guide, author, and promoter of a step-by-step concept of discovering Bucharest, for an enchanting few hours in the course of which we will stray into an atmospheric hinterland where the beating heart of hidden Bucharest keeps time with our every step.
