Best things to see and do in Bucharest

The capital of Romania is one of the great unknown of Europe, but increasingly, one of the most interesting and attractive tourist destinations of the continent, for its great beauty, an interesting social life and a wide cultural offer. Located in the Muntenia region - on the banks of the Dâmbovița river - in the southeast of the country, this city has ample green areas and an interesting heritage that is worth visiting. A city without a large population - which barely reaches two million inhabitants - and a pleasant climate throughout the year, makes it easy to enjoy this interesting city, perfect for planning a tourist getaway of a few days. Apart from the atmosphere, the museums and the heritage of the "small Parisian", the visit to the city implies discovering its gastronomy, really varied and especially recommendable. Dishes as recommended as rice wrapped in cabbage "Sarmale", the typical Romanian sausages "Mititei", traditional mash or "Mamaliga", or traditional skewers "Frigarui" The Romanian city has a large number of very interesting places, especially recommended for tourists who are approaching this European destination for the first time. One of the best ways to discover this city is to choose the free walking tour in Bucharest , which runs through the most important places to see such as the Curtea Veche Palace “Corte Vieja”, the megalomano and neoclassical Palace of the Parliament of the communist stage , the recommended Bulevardul Unirii or the Stavropoleos Monastery. Other points of great interest in the city are the Cathedral and Patriarchal Palace, the Carturesti bookstore, the University Square or the Sfantul Anton church. Enjoying the city's nightlife means approaching the Lipscani neighborhood, full of small venues with a great atmosphere. Herastrau Park and Cismigiu Park, as well as the Bellu Cemetery, complete the interesting offer of interesting sites to see in the Romanian city. Free tours in Bucharest are an excellent option for people who want to know the city for the first time, visiting the most important points and discovering the wonders of this great European city. An excellent way to choose a different alternative to traditional visits, which barely cover the interesting cultural and heritage offer of the Romanian capital.

In addition, we recommend you check out the opinions and reviews that other walkers have left on our page about the free walking tours they have done in Bucharest with a local guide. Other cities of interest where you might enjoy a guided tour with a local guide are Brașov, Sovata, Sofia or Skopje.

Dear Visitor!

Welcome to our project and to our way of exploring Bucharest!

Walkabout Free Tours started in 2010 as an enthusiastic initiative of some friends passionate about their city and in love with travelling.

Starting 2022, Traventure SRL will take this amazing project to the next level, continuing in the tradition of fun, entertaining and educational walking tours and experiences that uncover Bucharest and its many layers to our awesome guests.

I am very passionate about traveling, always seeking out the magic of places I visit and love meeting people and discovering diverse cultures. I strongly believe that we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us !

Let’s explore this beautiful city together!

My name is Daniel and it’s a pleasure to be your guide! My hobbies include: drawing in my sketchbook, fantasy themed pc games, taking photos with my phone, singing in front of my bathroom mirror, eating rice with vegetables, always trying to decide if I like cats or dogs more, etc. I am excited and very grateful for the opportunity to meet new people and tell them stories of Bucharest on these tours. Ever since I was a kid up to the present moment, Bucharest has given my many good memories, friends and awesome times! So basically…I’m living proof that it’s a great town! Let’s not waste any more time and let’s start getting to know it! I am also a Libra so my tours will be perfectly balanced!”. “Under the heavens we journey far/ On roads of life we’re the wanderers”.

Hey! I am Elena – Enthusiastic, Ludic, Energetic, Natural, Active.

Hi! I am Maria and I am happy to be your guide around the amazing city of Bucharest!

I was born in Rm. Valcea, but I have been living in Bucharest for over 8 years now. After discovering the city myself and falling in love with it, I am now excited to tell its stories to as many people as possible. My passions include travelling, hiking, history, food and learning about other people and cultures.

For me, being a tour guide means following my passions, and also discovering something new every day – about the city,  other countries and about myself. It is not a job, it is like walking around Bucharest with new friends every time, so I am always enthusiastic for the next tour.

Are you ready for the tour?

Picture your dream walking tour, add a dash of spontaneity, and sprinkle it with a whole lot of fun—that’s what you get when you join me on one of my epic tour around Bucharest.

Free Walking Tour Bucharest

Join us for the best-rated free tours of bucharest, free  bucharest walking tour.

Welcome everyone! Walkabout Free Tours means a team of licensed guides happy to share with you their love for Bucharest, a city full of contrasts that you will remember!

We started to share our love for stories in 2009, being the first free tours in Romania. It’s being a great ride and thanks to our guests support, our NGO organised a lot of free events and tours for locals too. 

We offer daily two free tours . In different occasions we run seasonal thematic trails or charity tours where you have the chance to support local causes. 

The “Story of Bucharest” is your best introduction to the city connecting dots to the full context of Romanian history . We cover the main sights starting with the largest one – the Palace of Parliament . We stroll in the cobbled streets of the old town visiting the oldest church, Manuc’s Inn , Stavropoleos Monastery , Caru cu Bere beer house, Lipscani street , CEC Palace , University Square and many other hidden stories about the heart of the city. This tour is available in weekends in Spanish too.

“From Monarchy to Communism ” is our second trail getting out of the pedestrian old town on the most elegant boulevard of the capital – Calea Victoriei . This itinerary is a “ zoom in” in the most interesting century of the city :  flourishing with the first king arrival, bombed in the World Wars and facing churches, French palaces and communist institutions . You will meet our four kings and their struggles in the WWs, in love and finally in the forced exile. We will imagine the fancy life back then as we walk by the Royal Palace , the Romanian Atheneum , Cismigiu Garden or secret passages. 

Local tips and insights will spice up your experience in Bucharest with fun and emotion , making it a holiday to remember!

It all started on a Sunday, at a family lunch, when, after a good meal and a glass of wine, our parents accidentally, but call it fate, told us stories from old #Bucharest, about their daily lives, cultural events, and urban myths. 

We suddenly realized that we know almost nothing about our city, Bucharest, so we took the decision to find out more. 

As any lazy “student”, we thought that it’s easier to learn it from others than to search it for ourselves, so we started taking part in different Bucharest tours, some general, other thematic. 

Another stroke of fate, because the passion was born. After every tour, we were spending time discussing what we found out, double-checking the information, finding even more interesting information about architectural or historical sites. Until one day when accidentally, but call it fate, one guide asked us if we are there to spy for our own private tours. 

An idea was born, yes we want our own private tours, but different, tours based on stories, personal memories, and feelings. 

From one blog to another, from one documentary to another, from one old newspaper to another, from our parents’ and grandparents’ stories, from our childhood during communism and from our numerous strolls along the streets of Bucharest, we managed to create unique tours , to include hidden fascinating sites known only by us, to see beyond the beaten touristic paths. 

#Unbelievable, right? But call it fate.

Explore The Wabash Cultural District With Historical Walking Tour

Press release.

WABASH — Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to embark on an immersive journey through time as Downtown Wabash Inc. and the Hometown History podcast present the Wabash Historical Tour.

This exciting excursion promises to captivate history enthusiasts and curious minds alike, offering a unique opportunity to uncover the rich tapestry of Wabash’s past while discovering its vibrant present.

The historical walking tour invites participants to stroll through the iconic streets of downtown Wabash, where every corner holds a piece of the community’s history. This free tour promises to be both educational and entertaining, providing a fresh perspective on familiar landmarks and hidden downtown gems.

While listening to the podcast, one is able to experience the Wabash Cultural District through storytelling. Award-winning podcaster Shane Waters of Arc Light Media weaves compelling narratives that bring the community’s history to life.

“The purpose of the historical walking tour is to tie together the unique history of Wabash and to present it in a way that is interactive and immersive,” said Waters. “Wouldn’t it be great if we had a time machine, where we could explore what bricks were laid in order to make Wabash the charming city it is today? Well, I haven’t found a time machine yet, but I have found a way to make the past come alive through sound design and visual cues.”

The historical tour unfolds entirely within the Wabash Cultural District, nestled in the heart of downtown Wabash. As listeners navigate through the streets, the audio spotlights cultural jewels that endow Wabash with its distinctive charm, such as the iconic Honeywell Center and the historic Eagles Theatre. This tour offers more than just visuals. It delves into the storied past of these landmarks and other installations that ignited a cultural boom in the area.

Participation in the tour is completely free of charge, making it available to everyone in the community. The tour lasts about 35 minutes and spans a little over half a mile. There are no hills involved, and the route is wheelchair and stroller-accessible. Visitors and community members are encouraged to invite friends and family and head downtown to partake in this unforgettable experience.

“My hope is that this tour allows visitors and locals alike to appreciate our hometown of Wabash,” said Waters. “It is my belief that we have a lot to learn from the stories of yesterday, and I am very appreciative that I get to be the one to tell them.”
