Bucharest Old Town

Also known as Little Paris, Bucharest is a city full of life, which offers visitors many options to spend their free time. The city is mentioned in documents for the first time in 1497 and it is Romania’s capital city since 1862.
A city of contrasts, Bucharest has managed to preserve its former beauty despite the changes. The changes were manifested both in the architecture of the city and in the society and its customs. Although the troubled history has left its mark on the Capital, it continues to offer unforgettable experiences to visitors.

Among them, we list Calea Victoriei, a promenade street for ordinary bourgeois, the Old Center, known throughout Europe for the atmosphere it gets at night, Cismigiu Park, the oldest park in Bucharest, and, last but not least, the Antipa Museum and Romanian Village Museum.
