Explore Bucharest's Communist-Era Landmarks
Meet your guide at an agreed-upon location.
Start your tour with the Palace of the Parliament, also known as the People's House, where you will learn how dangerous and damaging a totalitarian regime like communism can be for a nation. It is the second-largest administrative building on the planet, after the Pentagon.
Visit the National Village Museum and stop by traditional Romanian houses, large and small, made of wood, adobe, stone, and other materials from all areas of the country.
