Description
What if you could walk through Bucharest at the moment it was transforming from a provincial Balkan capital into one of Europe's most fascinating cities?
Join us on a journey through the Bucharest of kings, queens, aristocrats, artists, bankers, journalists, musicians and notorious lovers — roughly from the 1870s to the eve of World War II.
This is not a traditional history lecture. It is the story of a city changing before your eyes.
We will follow the reigns of King Carol I, Queen Elisabeth, King Ferdinand, Queen Marie and the controversial Carol II, and discover how the royal family helped reshape Bucharest through architecture, institutions, culture and a new European identity.
On the tour, we cover the most important sights and attractions such as
- CEC Palace
- Victoria Department Store
- Marmorosch Blank Palace
- Palace of the National Military Circle
- Palace of the Telephones
- Royal Palace
- Romanian Atheneum
- The House of Mița Biciclista
Come discover the glamorous, chaotic and surprisingly modern Bucharest that existed before the world changed forever.
