Private Tour of Bucharest’s Historical and Traditional Highlights

Bucharest offers its guests a unique array of architectural styles, from different ages. You are invited to admire some of the most beautiful buildings of the city, influenced by the Western European. This three hour guided tour is a chance to see the major masterpieces of the city: The Village Museum (outdoor) or the Museum of the Romanian Peasant (indoor) – depending on the weather conditions - the Central Library, Kretzulescu Church and Stavropoleos Monastery

The Village Museum formally National Museum of the Village "Dimitrie Gusti" (Muzeul Național al Satului "Dimitrie Gusti" in Romanian) is an open-air ethnographic museum located in the King Michael I Park (Bucharest, Romania), showcasing traditional Romanian village life. The museum extends to over 100,000 m2, and contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.

The Romanian Peasant Museum is part of the European family of Museums of Popular Art and Traditions. It is a national museum, under the Ministry of Culture’s patronage. In possession of an especially rich collection of objects, hosted in a Neo-Romanian style historical monument-building, our Museum developed a highly original museography honored in 1996 by receiving the EMYA – European Museum of the Year Award. The originality of the exhibiting style is continued in the Museum’s publications, in actions such as the Missionary Museum, the Village School, concerts, conferences and exhibition openings.

Kretzulescu Church (Romanian: Biserica Kretzulescu or Crețulescu) is an Eastern Orthodox church in central Bucharest, Romania. Built in the Brâncovenesc style, it is located on Calea Victoriei, nr. 45A, at one of the corners of Revolution Square, next to the former Royal Palace. The church was commissioned in 1720–1722 by the boyar Iordache Crețulescu and his wife Safta, a daughter of prince Constantin Brâncoveanu. Originally, the exterior was painted, but since the restoration work done in 1935–1936 (under the supervision of architect Ștefan Balș), the facade is made of brick. The frescoes on the porch date from the original structure, while the interior frescoes were painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1859–1860.

The building of the National Military Circle was designed by Romanian architects D. Maimarolu, V. Stefanescu and E. Doneaud. It was built in 1912 in French neoclassical style and was used to host social, cultural and educational needs of the Romanian army. Now, it is the place were important events, such as art exhibitions and book launching, take place. The National Military Circle contains numerous reception halls and meeting rooms, a theater, a bookshop, and art galleries. The Marble Hall is known to be one of the most successful achievements of the Romanian architecture.

The Royal Palace (Romanian: Palatul Regal) of Bucharest, known as Palace of the Republic (Romanian: Palatul Republicii) between 1948 and 1990, is a monumental building situated in the capital of Romania, on Calea Victoriei. The Palace in its various incarnations served as official residence for the Kings of Romania until 1947, when the communist regime was installed after Michael I of Romania's forced abdication. Since 1950 the Palace hosts the National Museum of Art of Romania. The former Romanian royal family currently uses Elisabeta Palace as its official residence in Bucharest.
