Overview

Enjoy our legendary walking tour in the cradle of Bucharest, the site of Dracula's fortress, the oldest building still standing, the most visited monument in the history of the city, the best preserved examples of old architecture, whether we are talking about inns, palaces or merchant houses. Here some of the most famous recipes of the Romanian capital were invented, in its picturesque restaurants of yesteryear, events took place that went down in legend and people learned to live for the first time huddled together, in houses that hide more than to miss. Earthquakes, fires and floods have not managed to erase the zest for life of one of the most important centers in South-Eastern Europe even today.
