Couples Co-working Trip to Bucharest, Romania

Arrive at your leisure and meet the other couples. In the evening, we will dine at Caru' Cu Bere. This is a 140-year-old restaurant in neo-Gothic style which serves authentic Romanian cuisine. Afterwards, we'll visit the old town and experience the city's nightlife.

First, we'll visit the National Village Museum. This is an outdoor museum which shows how different traditional houses were built across Romania, owning to the different climate and natural resources available across the country. The National Village Museum is also a cat sanctuary, providing a home to 70 cats who are cared for by an order of nuns. Next, we'll visit the Palace of the Parliament. This is a monumental building designed by chief architect Anca Petrescu in 1986 when she was only 27 years old. It took 13 years to build the palace of the Parliament, although it's still not completed. Construction ceased after the fall of Communism in 1989. This building is so huge and lavish, it has to be seen to be believed. In the evening, we'll go to Naive restaurant and nightclub which boasts a panoramic view of the city and a nature-themed interior.

The daytime is yours to work or explore the city at your leisure. In the afternoon, we'll visit Therme București spa and wellness centre. Therme București is the biggest sauna complex in Romania. It features swimming pools, saunas, infra-red beds, water slides and a salt library. In the evening, we'll dine at Hanu' Lui Manuc. This is the oldest inn in Europe and includes authentic Romanian cuisine and traditional live music and dance. This is a historic venue where several television specials are filmed due to its iconic interior.

The day is yours to work or explore the city at your leisure. We'll break the day up by visiting Carpatic Climbing Centre which is Romania's first dedicated climbing facility. We will take the 'Power in one Hour' class, which is designed for all levels of bouldering experience. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned professional, our instructor will guide us to make sure we get the most of our experience. This is an optional activity not included in the price of the trip, so you're welcome to sit it out if you wish.

It wouldn't be a trip to Romania without doing something Dracula related. Beginning in the morning, we take a private bus to Snagov Monestery outside of Bucharest, which is said to be the resting place of Vlad Tepes (said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula). The monastery is a 14th century stone building beautifully decorated in colourful motifs from Orthodox Christianity. Afterwards, we will travel on to Mogosoaia Palace, a former residence of the Romanian Royal Family. Wander around the palace interior and garden while learning about Romanian history and taking some excellent travel photos.

On the final day, we'll have a farewell brunch at a local café. We have late checkout of the accommodation, so you are welcome to stay in and do some work or store your luggage while doing a final bit of sightseeing.
