Tour description

Bucharest’s charm lies in eclecticism, different styles and influences that blend to make it unique.

Contrasts lie at every corner, whether it's between bookstores, between churches, between palaces, between passages or between its art and its street art.

We will explore this melting pot of a city, focusing on the cultural connections that have shaped it the way it is today.

Discover a mishmash of architectural styles by visiting multicultural central areas, both on and off the beaten track. From French architects to Greek, Ottoman and Jewish heritage, we’ve got it all.

Find out how foreign perception of Vlad the Impaler created the myth of Dracula. Learn about our monarchs' blood ties with European Royalty.

And through this all, you will understand what it means to be Romanian and how we came to be a Latinized island in a sea of Balkans and Slavs.


Whatever culture you come from, you are always welcome on this multicultural heritage tour - as long as you book your spot, that is!
