Top Bucharest Craft Classes

Escape the urban bustle of Bucharest for the day to discover the legends and treasures of Transylvania. Wander through the Gothic chambers and turrets of Bran Castle, nicknamed ‘Dracula’s Castle’ thanks to its spooky atmosphere and ties to Vlad the Impaler, and then feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale on a tour of splendid Peles Castle, the former royal residence of Romanian kings. Finally, explore one of Transylvania’s most well-preserved medieval villages on a walking tour of Brasov.

Food is an integral part of Romanian culture, and this private cooking class lets you discover the unique ingredients and flavors that make up its traditional cuisine. Join your host for a fun, hands-on cooking class. Help prepare a variety of typical Romanian dishes, such as "bulz" and "papanasi”, then sit down to enjoy your delicious homemade lunch served with Romanian drinks.

After meeting your guide, explore the realities of the Roma community in Romania and visit a genuine workshop in the city center, where Roma craftsmen, also known as Gypsies, create and market their pieces. Choose your desired piece of jewelry to craft under the guidance of an authentic Roma artisan. You'll take your crafted jewelry home with you at the end of the workshop. Although the activity focuses on learning the art of copper crafting, you can opt for the upgraded version featuring silver. By the end of your visit, you'll have gained insight into the history of the Roma population in Romania and developed your own thoughts and views through real experiences and interactions with authentic Roma representatives.
