In the morning you'll meet your guide in the hotel's lobby.
You'll leave straight toward Sitaru village, 35 km north of Bucharest. Sitaru Monastery Here you'll have a first contact with the rural life. Driving on the roads of the village you’ll reach a monastery built in the 18th century. Hidden by a forest, sometimes surrounded by a small lake, Sitaru monastery, dedicated to St. Nicholas, could be a first contact with the "Last Judgment" fresco, painted on the walls of the porch.
You'll continue with Snagov church, one of the most famous churches outside of Romania due to Vlad the Impaler. Located on an island of the Snagov Lake (about 40km North from Bucharest), the church was built during the time of the Mircea the Old ruler or even earlier. Surrounded by defense walls and having a watching tower, used also as a belfry, the church looked as a real fortress. It seams that here Vlad the Impaler was buried. Even today you can admire his grave.
Once again back to Bucharest, you'll visit the Village Museum. Open for the first time in 1936, the museum includes 71 complexes with 317 different constructions like houses having tools and home objects, annex buildings, churches, installations of popular technique and handicraft workshops. After the lunch, driving toward the Revolution Square, you'll admire the Triumphant Arch built in 1936, the beautiful Kisseleff Boulevard with its splendid houses and Victory Boulevard with its houses, shops and museums. In the Revolution Square you'll stop to admire the Romanian Athenaeum built in 1888 in Neoclassical style, the Central University Library and the Art Museum, the former Royal Palace. Also, you'll get explications about the anticommunist revolution.
