Old Town Highlights Tour

Overview of the tour in Bucharest

Founded almost 600 years ago, the city of Bucharest has had a very tumultuous past marked by wars, foreign occupations, fires, earthquakes, plagues, and violent regimes. However, all these events in its history have also made Bucharest what it is today: an eclectic interesting place full of history at each step.

This walking tour around the center of Bucharest will reveal the intriguing past of this city which developed from a medieval commercial town with a fortress to a large modern city. Discover old and new Bucharest on a relaxing walk with a guide who will tell you about the important events, regimes, and people from the history of Bucharest. You will also get to know the stories behind the fascinating buildings in the Old Town and about the famous Calea Victoriei street.
In the middle of the tour, you will have a 30-minute break to visit the restaurant with the best view of Bucharest from above, where you will enjoy a typical Bucharest drink and a panorama of the city center. After, you will head to the Revolution Square to discuss life under communism and how this regime ended in this same place with a bloody revolution in December 1989.
