Also known as Little Paris, Bucharest once used to belong to the fabulous European capital circuit; its ‘golden age’ was at its highest level during the interwar period. Fragments of Bucharest’s bohemian past can still be spotted in some of the old buildings, parks, restaurants and cafes, many of them having been established during the Romanian version of la Belle Époque. Tour sights included in this application are: * Manuc's Inn * Stavropoleos Monastery * Caru’ cu bere Restaurant * The CEC Palace * Corner on 36 Calea Victoriei: Capșa and Cercul Militar * The Royal Palace and the Athenaeum * Cișmigiu Gardens * The ex-Uranus neighborhood – Izvor Park, House of Parliament and surrounding area * The Ark - Bursa de mărfuri * Bragadiru Palace * Jariștea Restaurant * Mitropoliei Hill This is the Lite Version of the app. All navigation-related features are disabled in the Lite version, so while you can view the walk details (sight descriptions and photos) and listen to the audio narrations, there are no navigation assistance to guide you from one sight to the next. Download the Lite version if you want to learn about this app. However, if you want to join the walk, it is highly recommended that you download the Full Version of this app. The Full Version includes a detailed tour route map and turn-by-turn directions to guide you from one sight to the next.
