Do you plan a city break in Bucharest any time soon? The walking tour is free of charge!
As I was saying in a previous article, the capital of Romania can be seen in at least 2 days, starting the visit in the Old town and then strolling along Calea Victoriei. There a lot of places to visit, buildings to admire and things to do. Be sure not to miss during your visit:
- Old Town
- Primăverii Palace
- Parliament Palace
- Calea Victoriei
- Romanian Athenaeum
- Cișmigiu Park
- The Arch of Triumph
- Village Museum

My personal tip upon your visit in Bucharest is to go at this place, named Cărturești Carusel, it is a library with a special architecture and it also has a nice place to have a drink.
