You will see the National Theatre and Grand Hotel Continental, the highest hotel in the city.
Foreign leaders such as Charles de Gaulle (1968), Richard Nixon (1969) or Fidel Castro (1972) were invited here. In the post-December period, the palace was a villa of protocol to receive official delegations from the country and abroad. In 2016 the house also called the Spring Palace was transformed into a museum.
In the middle of one of the busiest intersections of the city, stands the Arch de Triumph. The monument reminds passers-by of the Romanian Army’s victory in the First World War and the Great Union of 1918 - one of the most important events in Romania’s history. Built after the French model, the Arch of Triumph in “Little Paris,” as some used to call the Romanian capital city, is the “little brother” of the famous monument of the same name in Paris.
One of the landmarks of Bucharest that best reminds of the communist regime. The building was built between 1952 and 1957 and served as the headquarters of the Communist Party's official publication, Scânteia (The Spark). Following the Romanian Revolution from 1989, the name of the building was replaced with the “House of the Free Press”.
Calea Victoriei is known as an aristocratic street and the most famous street in Bucharest. the oldest artery and the most touristic one. The street is lined with new fashion shops, art boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants, historical buildings.
The Romanian Athenaeum is a concert hall in the center of Bucharest, Romania, and a landmark of the Romanian capital city. Opened in 1888, the ornate, domed, circular building is the city's most prestigious concert hall, resembling an ancient Greek temple and home of the "George Enescu" Philharmonic and of the George Enescu Festival.
The place where former communist president Ceausescu had the last speech in 1989.
The winter Royal Residence of Romanian kings, dated 1937. The Palace was built under the direct supervision of beloved Queen Maria and her son, King Carol II.
One of the most iconic buildings in Bucharest that houses the oldest bank of Romania.
Opposite the CEC Palace is the National History Museum of Romania - the biggest of its kind in the country. The museum is located at the entrance to the Old Town of Bucharest.
The second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon but heavier than it! For comparison, it can be mentioned that the building exceeds by 2% the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and therefore it is labeled as a "pharaonic" construction.
44 fountains are all synchronized, offering the passerby a show that makes these fountains the focal point of Unirii Square. Today the entire fountains system is the longest synchronized choreographic fountains in the world.
This square is the best access point to the Old Town, the People’s House, and even to the oldest hotel of the capital, Manuc’s Inn.

The driver (sorry forgot the owners name 🤷🏻♀️) spoke clear in English. He came on time too. He picked us up in front of the hotel. The vehicle tuk tuk was clean, comfy to ride in. We told him that we had seen what should/could be seen in Old Town so he drove us to the sights on the other side of town. Parliament area, luxury streets, famous fountain lane etc. etc. The driver stopped so that my husband was able to take pictures. He answered alot of my 'why' questions 😊. Was a safe driver. We were given water and a Romanian chocolate small cake. I recommend the tuk tuk 5 stars +. It's not advertised anywhere but ask. Ask the hotel receptionist. With this service you get your 'why' questions patiently answered and your personal driver is very informative! It saves ALOT of walking and is not expensive for two people. If you think it is...well try a taxi and let them RIP YOU OFF..it happened in Malaga and they did it to us here as we were waiting for the Hop on and Off, that did not come. So we took a taxi because we had a ticket appointment. Hotel warns about taking taxis. We stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn, Old Town. Ok..can't say they are ALL cheaters but long story short...we tried it 1 more time and the guy charged 130 Lei by taking the longest way back to the hotel. The one who took us to the museum ca.40 Lei. Mind that we were here a week and were familiar with the routes. Anyway...the tuk tuk tour you can count on! And it's funny to be in it anyway. Different. Nice.
If you are looking for a way to see the sights of Bucharest, this is it. What a great 2-hour tour!!! It was the perfect length of time. Alin was an awesome guide who shared great facts about the city!!! He was also kind enough to offer to take our pictures at multiple locations! A really nice touch was getting out at a few of the free sites where Alin personally led us through. It’s also a highly unique experience. We loved the views but it was Alin personal touch that made all the difference. Don't hesitate to book this!
Thank you for trusting Bucharest tuk tuk. I love to hear you have appreciated Alin personal touch!
We had an amazing experience with Bucharest Tuk Tuk! The city tour was well organized, fun, and packed with interesting information about Bucharest’s history and culture. We visited many of the city’s top attractions while comfortably exploring the streets in a Tuk Tuk, which made the experience unique and memorable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our questions. The route was perfectly planned, allowing us to see both the famous landmarks and some hidden gems. If you’re looking for a different way to discover Bucharest, this is definitely the best in town. Highly recommended for both first-time visitors and anyone wanting to see the city from a new perspective!

Alin was a great tour guide and made this an entirely worthwhile trip. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the history. I felt very safe while driving around busy traffic and we had a good afternoon discussing and connecting over our kids and fun things while seeing many sights that day. My phone battery ran out at our last stop and he took pictures for and of me on his phone and then sent to me. Very professional.

Great way to see the sights of Bucharest! The 2 Hour tour was just right. Alin was an awesome guide, speaking to all the sights while exploring all around Bucharest, and offering to take our picture at many of the locations! We got out at a few of the (free) sites, and Alin led us through them...a nice touch! You'll soon see that there's not many Tuk Tuks in Bucharest...so you'll have pedestrians staring at you as you pass by, since it's such a unique experience! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for writing a detailed review, I am sure this will help other tourists to decide if this activity is suitable for them. As you mentioned, there are not many Tuk Tuks in Bucharest, it is quite exotic here.
I felt so secured using his service.
Thank you so much! We are happy to hear that. Thank you for trusting Bucharest Tuk Tuk!
Nothing beats a tour guide with a great sense of humor! Alin was very informative with a side of funny. Recommend to anyone looking to get an overview of the city.
