Bucharest - from communist dictators to medieval rulers

Join our Romanian tour guide, Vlad, for a virtual walking tour of Bucharest in the Old Town and discover its troubled history from medieval times to the communist dictatorship.

We'll explore the highlights of the capital also known as the "city of contrasts", including the heaviest building in the world (Palace of Parliament), but also hidden gems tucked away in the heart of the former medieval quarter, such as beautiful churches or traditional restaurants.

Learn about Romanian culture and cuisine, while hearing the turbulent past 500 years straight from the areas where governments rose and dictators were toppled!

Unravel the intriguing stories and fun facts not to be found in guidebooks or documentaries and find out in the end why Bucharest was formerly known as “little Paris” as we stroll through the narrow streets and eclectic neighborhoods.

We will see:
• Palace of Parliament - the heaviest building in the world!
• Manuc's Inn - the epicenter of commerce on the former Silk Road
• Courtyard of Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula - the founding father of Bucharest
• Stavropoleos Church - a hidden gem of architecture right in the heard of the Old Town
• Valley of the Kings - a different approach for the Romanian "pharaohs"
• National Bank of Romania - the story of plastic money

Join Vlad on this extraordinary experience.
