Itinerario

1. Flexible Parliament Visit: - Skip inside: Save €15+ & 1 hour — focus on stories from outside. Marvel at the facade while hearing how Ceaușescu’s ego birthed this colossal "House of the People." Alternative: Izvor Park views + stories of the demolished Uranus neighborhood. - Go in: Only if booked ahead (guide handles tickets). Feel the weight of communism: Stand beneath towering marble halls where Ceaușescu’s megalomania drained Romania’s soul. Hear whispers of forced demolitions and secret tunnels. Why is this the world’s heaviest building? ️ Focus on 1-2 rooms (Hall of Union + marble stairs).

   1 h

2. Revolution Square - Stand where Ceaușescu’s helicopter fled. Touch the Memorial of Rebirth (the "potato on a stick") and decode the Romanian Athenaeum’s survival. Contrast the Royal Palace (exterior) vs. Communist HQ. Quick stop: Kretzulescu Church.
