- National Theatre Ion Luca Caragiale (Teatrul Nakional Ion Luca Caragiale) - Your Bucharest tour begins at the National Theatre the geographical and administrative heart of the city, and the scene of titanic street battles between miners and students immediately after the Romanian Revolution.
- Strada Batiștei - We will take a short walk to Strada Batistei, formerly known as the ‘St Germain’ of Bucharest and the site of the old American embassy, now an overgrown testament to different times. This area is famed for its 19th-century Neo Romanian architecture that defines much of the national style.
- Biserica Batiștei - We will pass by the Batiștei Church (Romanian: Biserica Batiștei) is a Romanian Orthodox church with an interesting history.
- The Armenian Church - We’ll then make your way to the Armenian quarter. The Armenians were a vibrant and successful merchant community in the 18th and 19th centuries, thanks to their valuable role as ‘middlemen’ for the Ottomans. Based around the Armenian church, their mahalla (neighborhood) features a spectacular variety of architectural styles from all over Europe and the Ottoman empire, as the wealthy merchants strove to out-do each other in taste and elegance. Classical, Belle Époque, Modernist, New-Romanian, Balkanic, eclectic — this quarter boasts all these styles, including the oldest documented house in Bucharest, which you will visit.
- Calea Moșilor - After, we’ll experience the quintessential Bucharest public transport: a short ride on a tram. Rattling along the famous Mosilor Street, you’ll enter into Communist Bucharest, with its regimented blocks and housing projects, as you make your way to the famous Obor Market.
- Piata Obor Bucuresti - We will spend some time in the main market of the city bustling with colours smells and amazing street food to enjoy. You will have time to do some shopping for traditional items after which we will sit down to taste some local produce and extremely tasty street food.
