About this quest

Romania's capital has a secret that most visitors never find.

Buried in the oldest streets of Bucharest's Old Town, hidden in the walls of medieval churches and golden-lettered cafes, there are clues to the most legendary treasure in Romanian history.

This self-guided treasure hunt in Bucharest takes you through centuries of history in one walk: the oldest church in the city, the street where a single gunshot sparked a catastrophic Easter fire, the ruins of Bucharest's first inn, and a passageway split in two because one stubborn hotel owner refused to sell.

Solve puzzles at each location to collect the keys that will unlock the secret.

From Stavropoleos Monastery to Casa Capsa to the fountains of Piata Universitatii, this quest covers the heart of old Bucharest in a route that works for families, couples, and history enthusiasts of all ages.

No guide needed.

The treasure has always been there. You just need to know where to look.
