Half-day day tour of Bucharest by Eddie - Private Tour
A pleasant and comprehensive way to visit Bucharest, including the Palace of Parliament, the Village Museum and many other top attractions
Bucharest is a surprising and fascinating city.
Once being called "The Little Paris", Bucharest has a little bit of everything. The city shows to the visitor its image of a very delicate balance between various stages of evolution, its various periods of growth and decay. The period of glory is still visible today, as well as the communist one.
Among other city attractions you are going to admire the interior of The Palace of Parliament - the largest building in Europe, a crazy expensive pharaonic project, a very strong communist mark for Bucharest.
Then, the interior of the Village Museum, the so-called Romanian Champs Elysee, Victory Avenue, The Romanian Athenaeum, The Arch of Triumph and many more.
Let's enjoy Bucharest!
