Informative and interesting. Biggest admin building in the word worth a visit.

Visiting the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is an unforgettable experience, and the guided tour makes it even more worthwhile. The sheer scale and opulence of the building are breathtaking, and our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating historical and architectural insights. The tour was well-organized, covering grand halls, intricate chandeliers, and impressive marble staircases while offering a glimpse into Romania’s complex past. For the price, it’s incredible value for money, given the depth of information and access to such an iconic landmark. Highly recommended for history lovers and curious travelers alike—don’t miss it!

Highlights

  • The second largest administrative building in the world.
  • The main symbol of the Communist architecture in Bucharest.
  • Impressive architecture with rich decorations.

Full description

Known in the past as the Casa Republicii, then Casa Poporului, but not for the people, it is the main symbol of the Communist Era, meant to house the ministries, the Communist party offices or temporary apartments of high functionaries. It was built starting 1984 on the safest place in the city, considering the high risk for earthquakes, has 9 storeys and 4 underground levels.
Along the tour you will pass by the most important rooms in the building, conference halls, balcony with the great view of the main square (unfortunately not available for the moment), main staircases, large hallways, impressive galleries or the Plenary Room of the Senate (available only on tours running on this side of the building at the weekends). You will be surprised by the lavishly decorated interiors, all made by local materials (marble, crystal, carpets, curtains, stucco) and by the local craftsmen.

The Guide was very professional, friendly and a true expert. we enjoyed the full tour. The building is amazing and so are the decorations and the history behind it. The waiting time before starting the tour could be shorter.
