Week-end in the “Little Paris” - 2 nights city break in Bucharest - 4* hotel
Day 1, Bucharest
Welcome to Bucharest! Our English speaking guide will collect you from Bucharest Airport. Enjoy a city tour to find out why the Romanian capital was once christened “the little Paris”: the Arch of Triumph, Romanian Athenaeum, Old Princely Court. Visit major highlights such as the Parliament Palace the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon, and the largest administrative centre in Europe, built by the dictator Nicolae Ceausecu. Visit next The National Art Museum housed in the former Romanian royal palace. You can visit here the European Art Collection and Gallery of the Romanian Art, a fine selection of drawing and prints, decorative art, and oriental art. An architectural jewel, Stavropoleos Church is a must see as well. Built in 1724 by a Greek monk the edifice is a combination of Romanian and Byzantine architecture with beautiful frescoes and wood painted icons. For an authentic Romanian culinary experience we recommend for dinner Pescarus Restaurant, one of the finest restaurants in Bucharest where the tasty traditional Romanian cuisine is complemented by the lively and animated atmosphere with Romanian folk music. Your accommodation is an outstanding 4* hotel, central location.
Day 2, Bucharest – Snagov - Bucharest
Visit in the morning the Village Museum, located on the shores of Herastrau Lake in Herastrau Park, a gorgeous natural setting. It is the largest outdoor museum in Europe displaying peasant settlements representing the history and design of Romania’s rural architecture. An excellent restaurant option for lunch is Carul cu Bere (Beer Cart Restaurant) dating back to 1879, an exquisite neo-gothic building which will surely rise up to your culinary expectations. Drive to Snagov to visit Snagov Monastery where, according to the legend, Vlad was buried after his assassination. The monastic establishment is located on a small island of Snagov Lake so you’ll also enjoy a boat trip across the lake. The architectural style of the monastery follows the architectural pattern that is characteristic to the monasteries on the Holy Mount of Athos in Greece. Return to your accommodation in Bucharest.
