Overview

You will see the city and learn about Romania through the eyes of a local, with a story wrapped around the food and beverages' traditions, and cultural behaviour.

We will start the experience with a taste of local cuisine, and a walk around the Old Town, where we will also see some of the most well known Tourist Attractions: Hanu' lu Manuc, Stavropoleos Church, Caru cu Bere, National Bank, etc.
You will also have the chance to experience public transport and see the famous Obor Farmers' Market where you will taste even more famous Romanian "mici", accompanied by a pint of local beer and a taste of traditional spirits! Here you will also get a feeling of our latest history since this market is situated right in the middle of a common Communist neighbourhood.

All these will be completed with information regarding relevant Romanian history, from the very origin to the communist times, with the purpose of understanding not only Romanian current behaviour but also food preferences.
