Bucharest's Old Center

It used to be the city's commercial center for centuries, then communism happened and the center of the city was displaced.

Recently, it became the most popular area in the whole of Bucharest, the place where locals and expats, younger or older, bourgeois or students, go for a drink, a bite to eat, a night out with the boys or girls, a date or a business appointment.

Historical buildings and monuments from the «belle epoque» — such as the Romanian Savings Bank or CEC Building, Vlad Tepes' Old Princely Court's ruins and the oldest church in Bucharest — dating up to 16th century, lay beside the latest trends in bistro, restaurant, wine bars and clubs.

 

The tour proposes a visual impact of the historically multilayer Bucharest, by pointing out amongst the main touristic objectives the various architectural styles, the cosmopolitan background and historical evolution of the area.

Just to clue you in on what to expect from the rest of the tour, let me introduce:

The French street, the first paved street in Bucharest is now one of the most cosmopolitan ones in the city: a Turkish restaurant, two Irish pubs, two French restaurants and and two Italian ones, a Libanese restaurant and a Hungarian one, several Romanian — international locations and… the count never stops, since bars and restaurants have the tendency to just pop open on this fantastic street.

A restless place, waiting to be discovered, an intricate labyrinth where you will want to get lost for a few hours.
