Tour description

Bucharest is a city that fascinates with its contrasts , which can be seen everywhere, from architecture to society. Through our free tour in Spanish, you will discover much more than important buildings in Bucharest, you will also discover how the life of the locals is, their culture, their customs, their economy and their politics.

Even if you only spend a short time in Bucharest, we will show you not only the touristy side of the city but also what life is like here.

Although Bucharest has its origins in medieval times, keep in mind that it has only really developed in the last 150 years. But many aspects of the current life of the Romanians can be explained through a brief excursion into the past through this free tour.

Therefore, we will start the tour from the symbol building of the city, the Roman Athenaeum, to discover why it is loved by all Romanians.

Next, we will learn about the role of the monarchy in the amazing progress that Bucharest experienced at the end of the 19th century and we will see the most famous buildings built by this regime. We will also explore the communist period and explain its impact on Romania beginning in the year 1945.

To explore a turning point in the evolution of the city, we will stop at 2 of the most emblematic places: Revolution Square and University Square . These are the places where the extraordinary events that shaped today's society occurred between 1989 and 1991.

We will understand how the Romanian culture is deeply influenced and has a great connection with the Latin culture, whether we talk about the playwrights, the literature and even the music of Romania. At the same time, to understand the spirit of the Romanians and how it is very close to that of the Latins in the Catholic world, we will visit one of the largest churches in the city.

And finally, so that you have a complete picture of Bucharest , we are going to explore some essential aspects of daily life , such as the health system , education and free time .
