Get ready for a day full of fascinating contrasts, where the rich and often wild history of Romania breathes on you at every turn. You will cover most of today's route at a relaxed walking pace, but for moving between more distant locations, the fast Bucharest metro or bus will serve you perfectly. You will start in the very heart of old Bucharest, where quiet Orthodox monasteries, monumental palaces built in the French style, and iconic covered passages bathed in yellow light are hidden among modern buildings. Once you have soaked up the atmosphere of the historical center, you will head for a well-deserved afternoon relax in a vast green park by the lake, where you will escape the bustle of the metropolis for a while. As evening approaches, you will head back to the center to stand face to face with one of the largest and most controversial structures on the planet – the magnificent Palace of the Parliament. You will then finish this demanding but unforgettable day in style with a great drink in a bar with a totally immersive and mystical atmosphere. Pack your comfortable shoes, tune in to an exploratory vibe, and come experience Bucharest in all its beauty!

After yesterday's day full of exploring city boulevards and grand architecture, a more relaxed pace awaits you. You'll dedicate the morning to a peaceful walk through three exceptional spiritual sites, hidden close to each other, representing the most beautiful of the Romanian Orthodox tradition. The second half of the day will then belong to well-deserved rest and regeneration in the monumental Therme Bucharest wellness complex.
