The tour will start with a pick-up from your hotel reception in order to visit a couple of the metro stations built during the communist period.  Afterwards, head towards a neighbourhood built by the Romanian dictator especially for the working class in order to discover how the people of Romania lived their daily lives, followed by a visit to the Palace of the Parliament. The building was completed in 1997 and was part of a larger project of Ceausescu to rebuild the capital city entitled ‘Project Bucharest’.

Mit Claudia eine super Tourguide gehabt, die sehr viel über Bukarest und die Zeit der Herrschaft unter Ceausescu zu berichten wusste. Stationen der Tour (u.a.) Platz der Revolution, Besichtigung der Ceausescu Privatresidenz, Blumenmarkt der Roma, Besichtigung vom Parlament, Naturschutzgebiet am Rande Bukarest (wetterbedingt nur vom Hochhaus aus betrachtet), Synagoge (von außen), Nordbahnhof und Fahrt mit alter U-Bahn (von Ceausescu errichtet). Absolut empfehlenswerte Tour
