• Palace of Parliament - During the Bucharest City Tour at the Palace of Parliament, also known as the People’s House, visitors will gain insight into the detrimental effects of a totalitarian regime like communism on a nation. The sheer scale of the building’s extravagant opulence and the megalomania it represents will leave visitors feeling small.

Imagine having the opportunity to explore the second largest administrative building in the world, following the Pentagon, and creating memories to share with future generations.

• Muzeul National al Satului “Dimitrie Gusti” - On the Bucharest City Tour, visitors will explore The National Village Museum, which showcases Romanian traditions and illustrates how Romanian villagers historically built eco-friendly and sustainable environments. The museum offers a glimpse into their simple, modest lifestyle, harmoniously integrated with their surroundings.

By booking a private guide in Bucharest, visitors can delve into the world of traditional Romanian homes, whether large or small, constructed from wood, adobe, stone, and other materials from across the country. They will also encounter national symbols like the mill and wooden church, learning how these cultural treasures have united Romanians for millennia without the need for conquest.

• Calea Victoriei - On Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue), with a private guide, visitors will be captivated by historical contradictions: the Royal Palace on one side and the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party and Revolution Square on the other, where Ceausescu made his helicopter escape.

Visitors will discover old orthodox churches shrouded in mystery, a music store with a vast selection, as well as casinos, bohemian restaurants, museums, theatres, tea shops, retail outlets, and gift shops for souvenirs. The tour also includes the National History Museum, the Romanian Athenaeum, the CEC Palace, and more.

• Piaka Revolukiei - Revolution Square, Bucharest

This private tour on communism transports visitors back to the time when dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown, leaving behind secrets of a vast fortune and controversies surrounding the state security service and his offshore accounts.

As previously mentioned, upon reaching the Senate Palace, visitors will see the former Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party building, the site where the December 1989 Revolution began—a pivotal historical event marked by human courage and sacrifice that led to Ceausescu’s removal from power.

• Palatul Patriarhiei - The highest-ranking bishops in Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Catholic Church (above major archbishop and primate), the Hussite Church, and the Church of the East are known as patriarchs (and in some cases also popes, such as the Pope of Rome or Pope of Alexandria, and catholicoi, like Catholicos Karekin II).
• Ateneul Roman - The Romanian Athenaeum (Romanian: Ateneul Român) is a concert hall located in the heart of Bucharest, Romania, and is a significant landmark of the capital.
