About Old Town in Bucharest
Situated right in the center of Bucharest, the Old Town quarter is the place where most visitors first end up. It is the oldest part of the city and a tourist hot spot for all the right reasons.
The Old Town is filled with history and tales everywhere you look. It is the area that best sums up the curious story of Romania’s capital city.
That is why a tour here will reveal a lot of secrets that will enable you to make the best of your trip to Bucharest.
The tour starts in front of Manuc’s Inn, a 200-year old unique building in Europe that was also tied to Bucharest’s development. Discover the legend of the founding of Bucharest and the explanation behind the city’s name.
Vlad, Dracula is here
Since you are in Romania, we will tell you about probably the most famous person who lived here in the Middle Ages, namely about Vlad the Impaler best known as Dracula and his connection to the Old Town.
Besides this, you will understand how Vlad became known internationally as a vampire and which are the origins of this archaic belief; in our Bucharest Old Town Free Tour the guide will show you all with all details.
Even though Bucharest is a relatively young town and most buildings are not older than 200 years, with the help of our stories you will be taken back to the Antiquity and the time of the Roman Empire. Delve into the links between modern day Romanians and the ancient Romans.
A very important aspect you will hear several times during the time and which will be explained is that in the past Bucharest was renowned as Little Paris. This is thanks to the diverse Parisian influences in the architecture of the old buildings and the main boulevards, which can be seen in the Old Town during our Tour.
