8 Photography Tours in Bucharest That You Shouldn't Miss

May 14, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

Great company to deal with. Our planning and booking was with Bogdan and all replies were quick and informative. We decided on a 2 day tour. Collection from airport late then straight to hotel Bucharest, early collection the next day with our guide Nick, we had a quick tour around the city and then onto mountains and Brasov. Overnight stay in Brasov. We requested a change to the next day itinery which was met so we could say we went off the beaten toursit path. Nick was very informative and enaging and always met our needs and understood our requirements from the trip. Before Nick left us in Bucharest back at the hotel he arranged a booking for us at the Palace of the Parliament so we knew which tour we were going on. In the price of the trip we also had a early collection from the hotel back to the airport even though our tour ended 2 days before. No stress, everything organised and everthing worked our great.

We met at the fountains; piatsa unirii under the big clock. Ancha the guide gave us a short introduction to the history of Rumania and Bucharest. We learnt that 80% of the population belong to the Orthodox Chruch and that there are over 300 churches in Bucharest. Some of the churches were moved or destroyed during Ceaucescu time as well as apartment blocks to give space for his grand plans for the city.She showed us Manucs and Cara cu bere. It was good to get to know these places to come back for a good meal. She also gave us personal information how it is to live i Rumania today. The tour can be recommened.

Honestly the only way to really see Transylvania and the Carpathian mountains. Dan the guide is very knowledgable about the area and culture of the people. He is an excellent safe driver and you always feel safe with him driving. He knows multiple routes across the mountains depending on the weather and comfort level of his clients. If you just want to drive down dirt roads through the National Parks or do some more extreme off roand campng and fishing he can cater for your personal needs. Unlike other trips to the area Dan can customize the trip to your needs. Its definitly the only way to see the area.
