Itinerary

  1. By far the most imposing and well-known tourist attraction in Bucharest is the Palace of the Parliament or as Nicolae Ceausescu called it, the People's Palace. Located high on Arsenal Hill, the current Palace of the Parliament is certified as the second administrative building in the world after the Pentagon. The building described in numbers and statistics is astonishing: 270 meters long, 245 meters wide, 86 meters high, 92 meters deep (below ground level), 1,000,000 cubic meters of Ruschita marble, 700 architects, and the numbers don't stop there. ! Visiting is only possible with a reservation made 24-48 hours in advance, and the visitor is required to have an identity card or passport on him (not a driver's license or insurance card). The standard tour lasts approximately 1 hour.

Despite the fact that it went through different stages of construction and reconstruction to reach its current form only in 1936, the Arc de Triomphe in Bucharest is more than a monument, it is proof of the heroism of the Romanians in the First World War.

About Bucharest

Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.

The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.

Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
