🌍 Who This Walk Is For
This walk is open to tourists, expats, and locals who enjoy exploring Bucharest on foot, discovering hidden corners of the city at a slower pace, and seeing familiar places from a different perspective.
Note: The walk is conducted in English to ensure inclusive participation, as the group includes international members.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

🗓 Schedule
We will leave at 19:00 , but I strongly recommend arriving earlier.
I'll be there from 18:40 to greet participants, distribute the photo challenges, and start on time.
The walk will last approximately 2.5 hours, with a relaxed pace, breaks, and plenty of time to observe, explore, and take photos.

📸 The Mindful Photo Challenge
At the beginning of the walk, everyone will receive a unique photo challenge with the sunset theme.
For example:
📸 Find rays of sunlight touching a building
📸 Find a flower saying goodbye to the sun.
etc

During the walk, take as many photos as you like that match your challenge.
After the walk, choose your favorite photo (s) and share on our WhatsApp group (optional), together with a caption that describes your challenge. You can also post it on Instagram and tag @bucharestwalksandtalks

Note: Sometimes summer evenings can be cloudy, so we might not get the perfect sunset. But that's part of the experience. We'll still enjoy a relaxing walk together, and I'll make sure to have also photo challenges that don't rely on direct sunlight or sun rays. 📸
