A journey told by someone who lives it (3\u20134 hours)\n\nA guided tour including, at the visitor\u2019s choice, a visit to the Palace of Parliament, the Prim\u0103verii Residence (Ceau\u0219escu\u2019s Villa), Cotroceni Palace, or the Village Museum.\nTwo of the above sites will be visited.\n\nOf course, we could also visit all of them\u2014and maybe even stop by my favorite market. But everything depends on your energy, curiosity, patience, and willingness to part with a few rustling banknotes.<\/p>

In 2007, television commitments brought me to Bucharest for the first time. Initially, I had no intention whatsoever of settling in Romania\u2019s capital. Yet five years later, I was still here.\n\nAt first, I was in love with this city. Of course, it wasn\u2019t all smooth sailing from the start. There was also a period of rejection\u2014I can\u2019t say whether it was more my provincial mindset or its Balkan nature to blame. But in time, we adapted to each other, and I learned to love it with all its contradictions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I let myself be absorbed by its ancient alleyways, by buildings that sometimes shine and sometimes brood, relics of the past two centuries. By the beauty and grandeur of Her\u0103str\u0103u and Ci\u0219migiu parks; by the roar of traffic and the irritating congestion; by the efficiency of the metro and the scent of freshly baked pastries that fills every station.\n\nWe became each other\u2019s destiny.\nToday, I can say with certainty that Bucharest is my city.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Before your trip to Romania, you have surely read that at the end of the 19th century Bucharest was called \u201cLittle Paris.\u201d
And of course, during our tour we will see the very buildings that inspired this comparison.
First and foremost, the Romanian Athenaeum\u2014a concert hall built in neoclassical style at the end of the 19th century, designed by the French architect Albert Galleron.<\/p>

We will also stop at Revolution Square, a place steeped in history. One of the buildings that most captures visitors\u2019 attention is the University Library, designed by architect Paul Gottereau.
In addition to the library, we will talk about the Royal Palace, the former headquarters of the Romanian Communist Party Central Committee, and the Kretzulescu Church.<\/p>

At the entrance to the Old Town, we will pause in front of the CEC Bank building, also designed by Paul Gottereau, a graduate of the National School of Fine Arts in Paris.\nCEC Bank is one of Bucharest\u2019s symbols and was built at the same time as Paris\u2019s Petit Palais. The two buildings are remarkably similar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Another building\u2014and venue\u2014you will certainly want to visit is Caru\u2019 cu bere<\/strong>, which translates as \u201cThe Beer Wagon.\u201d Dating back to the late 19th century.
It has remained true to its name through every era: the monarchy, communism, and today\u2019s modern Romania.<\/p>

We will then continue through the alleyways of the historic center. We will see Stavropoleos Monastery, walk along one of the Old Town\u2019s most famous streets\u2014 Lipscani<\/strong>, visit the former Prince\u2019s Court, and the historic inn Hanul lui Manuc<\/strong>.<\/p>

Once you have chosen the two sites you wish to visit internally, we will head toward them.
Our route will cross the city\u2019s main boulevards and arteries, allowing you to perceive the blend of Eastern and Western influences in the Romanian capital.
After all, Bucharest was born at the crossroads of major trade routes.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At the end of the tour, I will suggest lunch or dinner at one of the local restaurants, where you can enjoy a fresh craft beer brewed especially for that venue\u2014or a glass of excellent Romanian wine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
