Itinerary
1
The Church of the "Stavropoleos" Monastery
A serene landmark and a stunning example of Brâncovenesc architecture, famous for its delicate stone carvings and peaceful courtyard.
15 minutes
2
Caru' cu bere
Bucharest’s most iconic restaurant; a historic venue that serves as a hub for stories regarding Romanian bohemian life.
20 minutes
3
National Bank of Romania
Located in the heart of Bucharest’s Old Town, the National Bank of Romania (BNR) is more than just a financial hub—it is a stunning architectural complex that earned Bucharest the nickname "Little Paris."
15 minutes
4
University's Square
Known locally as Piața Universității, this is Bucharest’s most iconic meeting point. It is a place where history, education, and social activism collide, serving as the symbolic "Kilometer Zero" of Romanian democracy.
20 minutes
5
Cărturești Carusel
Located in a beautifully restored 19th-century edifice in the heart of Bucharest’s Old Town, Cărturești Carusel is frequently cited as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Its name translates to "Carousel of Light," a fitting title for its luminous, ethereal interior.
15 minutes
6
Manuc's Inn (Hanul lui Manuc)
Located in the bustling Old Town, Manuc’s Inn (Hanul lui Manuc) is the oldest operating hotel building in Bucharest. Built in 1808, it is one of the last remaining caravanserais in Europe—a traditional roadside inn where merchants and their camels or horses would rest along trade routes.
15 minutes
7
"The Old Court" Voivodal Palace
Located in the heart of the Old Town, the Old Princely Court is the oldest historical monument in Bucharest. It served as the palatial residence of Wallachian princes for centuries, but it is most famous for its association with the man who inspired the legend of Dracula: Vlad the Impaler.
20 minutes
8
"Saint Anthony" Church
Located right next to the ruins of the Old Princely Court, St. Anthony’s Church (Biserica Sfântul Anton) is the oldest church in Bucharest that has preserved its original form. Built around 1559 by Prince Mircea Ciobanul, it served for centuries as the coronation site for the Princes of Wallachia.
15 minutes
9
National Museum of Romanian History
Housed in the majestic former Postal Services Palace on Calea Victoriei, the National Museum of Romanian History (MNIR) is the definitive guardian of the country’s past, from prehistoric times to the modern era.
15 minutes
10
Palace of the Deposits and Consignments
Arguably the most beautiful building in Bucharest, the CEC Palace is a stunning example of late 19th-century eclectic architecture. Standing proudly on the historic Calea Victoriei, it was built as the headquarters for Romania’s oldest savings bank and remains an active financial institution today.
15 minutes
11
Macca-Vilacrosse Passage
Tucked away between Calea Victoriei and the National Bank, the Macca-Vilacrosse Passage (Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse) is a fork-shaped, glass-roofed arcade that captures the bohemian essence of "Little Paris." Built in the late 19th century, it remains one of Bucharest's most evocative and atmospheric hidden gems.
