Conoce con nosotros la rica y variada historia espiritual de la multicultural Constanza, en la costa sur de Rumanía. Durante esta excursión de tres horas por la ciudad, visitarás algunos de los lugares de culto más importantes para los diferentes grupos étnicos y religiosos asentados en esta parte del país.
Saldremos de la Plata Ovidiu, la principal plaza del casco antiguo de Constanza, y empezaremos visitando la mezquita más grande de Rumanía. Erigida en 1910, fue un regalo del rey como reconocimiento por la contribución de los musulmanes a la comunidad. Seguiremos caminando hasta la catedral católica romana de San Antón, una de las pocas de su tipo en la región, y tendremos tiempo para admirar este gran ejemplo de la arquitectura típica del norte de Italia. Muy cerca, nos espera la iglesia ortodoxa más importante de la región: la catedral ortodoxa de San Pedro y San Pablo. Construida en estilo neo-bizantino, junto a la costa, destaca el hecho de que sobreviviera a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y, tras ser reformada, lograra conservar su esplendor. Terminarás tu recorrido por Constanza con una visita al Museo de Arte Popular para empaparte de los usos y costumbres del lugar descubriendo la forma de vida de los agricultores de la región de Dobruja.
Ven a conocer Constanza, una ciudad donde la diversidad convive en armonía, donde cada comunidad, a pesar de su origen dispar, ha sabido preservar con éxito su identidad.

Yes, you read correctly, thousands of years of wine tradition.

This tour is a part of the Urban Adventures Home Cooked series and aims to give you one of the richest travelling experiences you can ever have – the opportunity to enjoy a meal with a family in a local home. Your local hosts speak English well, so you won’t need sign language to understand each other!
The aim is for you to experience life exactly how it is in Bucharest. It is the chance for you to hang out with everyday locals, and get to know Romanian culture through their eyes, and their food. Could there be a more perfect way to get to know local life in Bucharest? We don’t think so. You will be met at the meeting point by one of the family who speaks English. We’ll head back to your hosts’ home, and after you’re introduced; it’s time to get our chef hats on!
In terms of the cooking, you can do as much or as little as you like. If you want to learn some Romanian cooking techniques and recipes, this is your chance to learn from a local. They will be happy to show you the ropes. But if you want to just sit back, chat, and relax, that’s cool too. When the food is ready you will all sit down together and share the meal prepared, enjoy the conversation, or maybe you’ll even look at each other’s photographs and maybe take some more all together.
This experience is real. Our families come from all walks of life. Some you might find have a similar lifestyle to your own, whereas others might come from a very different background. This is your chance to get to know the people of Romania in their own homes – something that you certainly won’t find on every tour in Bucharest! The beauty of this project is that everyone involved in our Home Cooked Series is someone who wants to meet travellers and share experiences with them.
