It is the carotid artery of the city, where its vital energies flow. Today eclipsed by the traffic of wider boulevards, it best preserves, in its almost 4 kilometers, the history of over four centuries in the history of the capital of Romania, both through the diverse architecture of the buildings, and through the fascinating suite of history that stretches along its sides, accumulating the largest number of firsts in all of Bucharest: the first cinema, the first ice cream parlor, the first theater, the first taxis or the first sidewalk. If we add the presence of originals such as Constantin Tănase, the first Romanian superstar, Grigore Capșa, the most famous Romanian entrepreneur from the Belle Epoque, Tănăsache Eliad, one of the first cardboard millionaires, or even famous animals, such as the dog Leandru or the ram Ghiță, we get an amalgam that can capture the attention of the passer-by for hours, taking him through the corners of old Bucharest.
