Bucharest Bike Tour

This trip will show you the best gems of « the city of the joy » or Bucharest ("bucur" meaning joy in Romanian).

Its story began about 5 centuries ago when Bucharest was a just a little village located straight on a commercial road by Dambovita river. Not too long after, Prince Vlad Tepes (the Wallachian prince, native from Transylvania, who inspired the Dracula character) transformed it into the capital. At the beginning of the 1800, Bucharest had around 60.000 inhabitants, but by the end of the century, it managed to develop so much that it reached the 1 million markers just before the beginning of the Second World War. It was around that time that Bucharest earned its nickname as the "Little Paris" thanks to its beautiful, French-inspired architecture. Nowadays, Bucharest is a wonderful mixture of medieval (influenced by the Ottoman Empire), neo-classic, the communist and modern architecture.
