Bucharest Old Town and Parliament Free Tour

Step Into Bucharest’s Past: A Walking Tour Through History, Architecture, and Culture

ABOUT THE Bucharest Old Town and Parliament Free Tour

This tour is operated by our partner Bucharest By Foot. 

 

Step into the fascinating history of Bucharest with a guided Free Walking Tour through the city’s Old Town and past its most iconic landmarks. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this experience takes you through charming cobblestone streets, centuries-old churches, and grand historical buildings that tell the story of Romania’s capital. From medieval relics to communist-era monuments, this Tour offers an unforgettable introduction to the city’s unique blend of past and present.

 

Uncover Hidden Gems and Local Legends

As you stroll through Bucharest’s Old Town, discover must-see locations like the 300-year-old Stavropoleos Monastery, the bustling Latin Passage, and the elegant Macca-Villacrosse Passage. Learn about the intriguing connection between Dracula and Bucharest, visit historic inns, and hear captivating tales of the city’s past. Along the way, enjoy a well-deserved break at a cozy café near the Museum of Communism, where you can sip coffee and browse unique souvenirs.

 

End Your Tour at the Palace of the Parliament

Your journey through Bucharest concludes at one of the city's most impressive landmarks, the Palace of the Parliament. Standing next to the grand Fountain Avenue, this colossal building is a symbol of Romania’s complex history and political evolution. Before you go, your guide will provide exclusive discount coupons for hidden-gem restaurants, allowing you to experience the best of Bucharest’s culinary scene at unbeatable prices. Due to high demand and limited group sizes, securing your spot in advance is highly recommended.
