The tour begins at Piata Revolutiei, the place where communism ended in December 1989.

​

We will be visiting significant sites, namely the Romanian Athenaeum, the Royal Palace, the University Library, King Carol I's equestrian statue, statues of statesmen Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Coposu, the Kretzulescu Church, the former office of dictator Ceausescu, and Memorial of Rebirth.

​

Then, strolling along Calea Victoriei, the town's oldest and most modern street, one can see the finest landmarks, such as the former National Theatre building, the Victoria passageway, Palatul Telefoanelor, Teatrul Odeon, Teatrul de Revista, Casa Capsa, the University of Bucharest, Cercul Militar National, Victoriei shopping galleries, the Marmorosch Palace, the Macca-Vilacrosse passageway and the magnificent CEC Bank, the National Museum of Romanian History, and Centrul Vechi ( the Old Town), with its lively coffee shops and pubs, the Stavropoleos Church, Dambovita River, and overlooking it, Palatul de Justitie and Casa Oprea Soare, both in Piata Natiunilor Unite.

 

Lastly, Casa Poporului, currently known as the Palace of the Parliament, renowned for holding three world records in the Guinness Book of World Records for the heaviest, largest, and most expensive public palace in the world, was constructed entirely of Romanian labor, materials, and resources.
