Why take this tour?

The tour takes you in a ride with the Dacia from one side to the other of Bucharest in a search to discover the contrasting city of Europe: a mixture of the belle epoque of the 19th h and 20th century way of living and the ’70s Eastern Socialist era. Our Dacias takes you to 3 different Bucharest quarters: • Cotroceni quarter, the amazing residential villa quarter of Bucharest where the 19th century and present bourgeoisie live. See the Cotroceni Presidential Palace, the Military Academy Building, the Botanical Garden or the villas. • Drumul Taberei quarter, where the commoners live, built from the 60’s. See the huge communist blocks of flats, the peasant market or the Orthodox churches of the average Romanians or the former factories that now became shopping malls! • Ferentari quarter, the most photographic & contrasting place of Bucharest known as the “city Machala “a place with bad fame, high poverty and ghetto style buildings. A memorable ride with a fully restored Dacia!
