You will travel in time through Bucharest, beginning with the city known in the 1930s as the Little Paris of the East. As you move through this era, you will encounter French-inspired architecture and grand civic buildings, including The Royal Palace and The Romanian Atheneum, which illustrate why the city earned that nickname.

From there, the experience will shift to medieval Bucharest, often called the Town of the Inns. In the Old Town you will explore the ruins of the Princely Court and see historic inns such as Gabroveni Inn and Manuc's Inn. Along the way you will learn how these different periods shaped the city’s character and how the architecture reflects Bucharest’s layered past.
