Bucharest Bike Tours

From the Romans, who gave the country its name, to the Ottoman and Hungarian Empires, to a period of occupation by the Soviet Union, Romania is far from short on history. Step into the mystical world of Transylvania, traverse the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains, or take a city tour of Bucharest.

Begin in Bucharest, the country’s capital and center for Romanian art, culture, and political history. As one of the largest administrative buildings in the world, Bucharest's iconic Palace of Parliament is a must-see feat of socialist realist architecture. Take a city tour to discover the iconic building’s history from a local guide, as well as stopping at the Royal Palace and Revolution Square.

For a bike tour that’s more focused on Bucharest’s relatively recent communist past, take the Bucharest Communist Bike Tour, which charts the policies and way of life under the leadership of Nicolae Ceaușescu. As communist leader of Romania until 1989, this is living history that your guide will bring vividly to life, sharing with you their own memories and reflections on the communist regime in Romania.
