“Friendly Guide Dan shared interesting information relating to the history of Bucharest and its buildings. A walking tour with two stops for food. The first stop was at a glass dome on the main street where we were offered a traditional snack : a donut type pancake with savoury and sweet fillings. We were on our own in the dome and moved a few chairs to sit around the table. Dan served us from the adjoining shop. We then walked to a bar house, which was busy and had a bustling atmosphere. We would have loved a drink there however we just looked around before walking to the old town…”
