After lunch, private transportation will take the group to Therme Bucharest. Situated at the edge of the city, on natural thermal strings, Eastern Europe largest wellness and spa center, will ensure a relaxing afternoon. Therme is also home to Romania’s largest botanical garden with over 800,000 plants, including palm trees, orchids and other unique species. With temperatures within the picturesque giant glass dome kept at a balmy warmth throughout the year, it offers a variety of pools, saunas and water slides alongside wellness and spa treatments.

Tourists will be dropped off at their hotel in the early evening (around 18:30) and have free time until 20:00 PM, when the guide will come meet them and take them to one of Bucharest’s premier wine bars for an evening of wine tasting, snacks and dinner.
