Discovering Bucharest in two days: A Journey Through History, Culture, and Culinary Delights

Description

Overview

Day 1: We will meet at Unirii Square (Piața Unirii), in front of the Unirii Mall, next to the metro station. From there, we’ll begin our journey by walking toward the Old Town to explore its rich history and attractions. For lunch, we’ll dine at Caru’ cu Bere, where you can savor traditional Romanian delicacies.

Next, we’ll continue along Calea Victoriei and explore the Macca–Vilacrosse Passage, eventually arriving at the University area. Afterward, we’ll head to Cismigiu Gardens for a relaxing break amidst the beautiful scenery.

Our journey then leads us to the Palace of the Parliament, famous for holding the Guinness World Record as the largest administrative building for civilian use, and ranking third globally by volume. It is also the heaviest and most expensive building in the world.

Following the Parliament visit, we’ll wrap up the day with a dinner reservation at Hanu’ lui Manuc. Optional: Join us afterward to witness the impressive Downtown Bucharest fountains, which hold the title of the largest choreographed musical fountains in the world.
