Unique things to do in Bucharest-Ilfov

Ours will be a cultural excursion set around good food, and architecture — just as any food tour should be! I will first introduce you to two of my favorite neighborhoods: The Armenian Quarter and the Jewish Quarter. This area simply screams Bucharest with its multi-cultural history, amazing hidden gardens, and 19th century eclectic architecture. We'll make several stops on the way, including an achingly cool ruin bar for a Romanian platter with a story to tell. We may suggest some great Romanian Craft beer for you to get alongside this spread or traditional appetizers. And because the best way to know a city is through the belly, we'll hop on a vintage tram and journey to the city's liveliest market: Obor. Well hidden inside a brutal communist neighborhood, surrounded by utopian blocks of flats, this very old market truly feeds the soul and gut of Bucharest. Someone told me once that beer makes history better, that's why we'll start our exploring at the nice people of Terasa Obor to get a few tasty and very famous "mici"- Romania's proud meaty contribution to the world of mouthwatering street-food. Vegetarians will not be disappointed either as local cheeses and fresh vegetables will complete this rustic feast. Other things to note Please let me know of any dietary restrictions at the time of booking. Check up on the meeting point before the tour, or else write or call and please be on time. Don't hold back with your questions:)

We will start our tour at the meeting point, where we will get to know each other and share more details about our experience and the flow of our night (free snacks from us). First, we will take a short and authentic tram ride to get more into a local mood. Enjoy a cocktail with a story at the best mixology bar in Romania in our opinion, and let their bartenders share the basics “how to’s of drinking” (20% discount for all drinks and bar treats included). A scenic night walk to our next venue passing by the most important landmark in Bucharest by night. Stop over for a short photo session and history lesson. Dinner & drinks with a view over Bucharest by night at a design awarded rooftop restaurant & sky bar, with reasonable prices (10% discount on everything that you order just for being with us) Moving forward to a hidden cocktail speak easy bar inspired from the prohibition times. Access only by password ;) Party at one of the best and active alternative clubs (in our opinion) – bar treats and entrance included The night is short, but Bucharest never sleeps. In case of need we have other hip places in mind. Let us surprise you! Other things to note: There are also options of non-alcoholic drinks. The restaurants have vegetarian and gluten free food options. There will be an approximately 30-35 min walk between venues ( 3,5 km / 2.2 miles). ID is required.

In this 3-hour journey, you will learn about the major landmarks and events in the Communist history of Bucharest, the violent beginnings of the Communist regime, the nationalization and forced demolition of thousands of houses, the People's House (currently, the Palace of the Parliament), dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his megalomania, and the bloody anti-Communist revolution of 1989. The experience tells the story of the conflict between two worlds -- a brutalized Bucharest under the Communist regime, and the peaceful and prosperous Bucharest of the interwar period. You will learn about why Bucharest is such a striking mix of very different architectural styles, how each regime has left its mark on the city, how the city looked, and what its inhabitants went through in their daily lives under Communism. You will re-live the emotions of the anti-Communist Revolution and the fall of the Iron Curtain. We'll explore: > Historic Cosbuc and Uranus neighborhoods > Antim Monastery, the Nuns' Convent > The Palace of the Parliament > The former Boulevard of the Victory of Socialism > Former headquarters of Securitate > Revolution Square. Great for groups, as well as for individual travelers.

We meet close to Herastrau Park, in the Press House Square parking. It is a good point to fit our bikes, have a short presentation and start riding. We are visiting Herastrau - the largest garden of the city, then we head south along Victoria Boulevard. We will stop at the Arch of the Triumph, Victoria Square, Revolution Square, Romanian Athaeneum and University Square. Each site has its story and you can take photos. We will continue our trip to the old city center and have a drink on a terrace. Then we are coming back to the starting point, visiting other sites of the city. As we are flexible, we can organize pick up and starting point at your hotel or in another suitable place in the city. Other things to note: Be sure you know how to ride a bicycle. Bring your smile and ask lot of questions, I would be happy to answer.

Come on over to the dark side...of Bucharest. Travel back in time through stories of a turbulent past and explore the less savory aspects of its history, from the bloody battles fought between Vlad the Impaler and the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Ages, to the "Little Paris" era of the early 20th century, and on to Communist times, undoubtedly one of Romania's darkest chapters. Visit the oldest cemetery in town, a beautiful final resting place with an eclectic collection of funeral monuments ranging from astoundingly beautiful to bewildering, and hear stories that will make your heart melt and your hair curl. Explore a former luxury brothel famous during the golden age of 'Little Paris', and hear stories of famous courtesans who stole the hearts of kings. Find out about our own 'Jack the Ripper', dubbed the 'Vampire of Bucharest', who had a penchant for blonde waitresses and terrorized the city in the early 70s. Finish the adventure in the Revolution Square and learn about the hardships of daily life under one of Eastern Europe's most brutal totalitarian regimes, as well as the struggle of the Romanian people to free themselves from oppression through the Revolution of 1989. Other things to note Not recommended for children aged 16 and under

A great way of diving into the local nightlife of Bucharest is by joining the most popular Pub Crawl in the Old Town area. We'll visit four unique venues each Saturday, in the Old Town area, with a crescendo-planned tour. A local experience that promises to be both fun and insightful, off the beaten touristic path. Starting in a social bar or pub where the guests can meet each other, continuing to a fancy social venue, moving to a buzzing party venue and ending in a big club, the group will have a broad view of the local nightlife by the end of the night. During the tour, we may experience karaoke singing, live bands, social games, special DJ sets and even special events for holidays. Each pub crawl promises tasty shots included in the package, booked tables, interactive guiding, photos and hints for enjoying Bucharest to its most. A must-try activity for solo travelers, couples and small group of friends. Surprises may be provided for birthdays or pre-wedding celebrations.

During this 3 hours walking tour on the streets of Bucharest, you will see how the years Romania spent under the Communist regime changed its architecture, its people and most importantly, its present.

We will visit 4 locations, if time allows it, in a 6 hour time window in and around Bucharest. These forgotten places from our list will help you understand better the troubled past that the country has gone through in the last few decades, since communism fell. This tour will take us through the rubble and will help create a much deeper understanding, similar to the experience you get from visiting a museum, but much more real. Hundreds of amazing places that used to house workers, provide them entertainment and more importantly work, are now forgotten and abandoned, left to decay. Well, not 100% forgotten, as urban explorers and (sadly) scavengers still visit them sometimes.
