Old Royal Court: “Vlad the Impaler,” who later became famously known as Count Dracula, issued a document here in 1459 that mentioned Bucharest for the very first time. The Royal Court established Bucharest as its permanent location for the Wallachian in 1698, and placed it in this former summer palace.
Old Court Church: Built in 1545, this is the oldest surviving church in Bucharest. It was built on the site of an earlier church, dating back to 1398. There are many tales and legends about the incredible church; decide for yourself which to believe.
University Square: Stop at this important place where the people gathered and marched in the Revolution of 1989, against the Ceausescu communist regime. Today, University Square remains a strong symbol of democracy, and the starting point for political marches and public demonstrations. The square is lined with restaurants, bars, terraces, museums, and endless people-watching opportunities.
The Manuc Inn: The longest-operating hotel in Bucharest, The Manuc Inn was built in 1808 as a roadside innwhere travelers (caravaners) could rest and recover from the day's long journey. The historic restaurant in the inn is a great place for a typical Romanian meal or for a stop for brandy (palinca) during the walk. It’s loved by locals, as well as tourists, so plan to return to find authentic Romanian spirit.
Stavropoleos Church: Built as part of a monastery and inn in 1724, this tiny church is one of the most religious monuments in Bucharest. It has beautiful Oriental, Byzantine, Italian Renassiance and Romanian motifs, as well as an open-air collection of stone crosses and artifacts from demolished churches in the city. If you can only see one church in Bucharest, this is it!
National Theatre of Bucharest: Built in 1852 and recently remodeled, the theatre is a proud landmark for the city and the country. It promotes Romanian arts and culture, as well as international works, on seven stages and halls.
Villacrosse Passage: This beautiful yellow, glass-covered street was built around a hotel in 189i. Shaped like a two-tined fork, the arcade has interesting architecture and a lovely ceiling dome. The first Stock Exchange of Bucharest was here. Restaurants and bars give a good reason to stop here during your visit to the city.
