Christmas has come to Bucharest! We'll meet at the Romanian Athenaeum and stroll through the center, exploring Christmas traditions from the Middle Ages.

Our first stop will be the largest Christmas market in Bucharest, located in front of the Palace of Parliament. Here, you'll discover the Romanian Christmas Eve menu, which often includes meat rolls. As you explore the stands, learn about Christmas in Bucharest, including that Mos Nicolae, the Romanian Santa Claus, leaves presents twice. You'll also find typical Romanian nativity scene figurines.

Experience the unique Christmas baubles and the inviting aromas of cinnamon and ginger throughout the market. The tour will also take you to see landmarks in Bucharest, including the Hotel Marmorosch, the Royal Palace, and Revolution Square, adorned for the season.

After 2.5 hours of exploring the festive atmosphere, we'll conclude the tour at Constitution Square. As locals say, cr?ciun fericit!
