Discover Bucharest Through a Woman Architects Eye

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Architecture, art, and urban design explored through a sensorial lens.
Personal insights from a Romanian architect who lives and breathes the city every day, a slow, mindful walk to experience the soul of Bucharest.

This 2.5 hour walking tour is more than sightseeing, it’s a sensory journey through history, architecture, and the lives of remarkable people and places, from Queen Marie of Romania to Mița Biciclista, the pioneering woman who dared to ride a bicycle at the beginning of the century.

From the Old Town’s hidden courtyards to the Royal Palace, Romanian Athenaeum, and iconic theatres, every stop blends art, culture, and intimate stories, offering a unique, personal connection to the city through an artist’s heart.

We pause, feel, breathe, remember, and photograph details that resonate: balconies, façades, murals, or even street life, making the tour interactive.

More than sightseeing, it’s a connection with the true spirit of the Romanian people and their old heart.
