Description

Tour the Palace of Parliament, Ceausescu's House (Primaverii Palace) and the Village Museum in one day, with skip-the-line ticket service — we secure your entrance tickets so you never wait at a ticket desk. Guided live in English, Spanish or Italian, with a smartphone audio guide in 24+ languages. Some stories are best told in numbers. Bucharest's story has some of the most staggering numbers in Europe — and behind each one, your guide has a story you won't forget. 1,100 rooms - Palace of Parliament The heaviest building on Earth: 4.1 million kg of crystal in its chandeliers, 1 million cubic meters of marble, 700 architects, and a construction bill historians still argue about. You'll walk its gilded halls and hear what those numbers meant for the people who paid for them. 1 family - Ceausescu's House / Primaverii Palace An entire sealed neighborhood served just one household. Inside: a gold-fitted bathroom, silk-lined walls, a private cinema and a mosaic pool — left exactly as they were abandoned in December 1989. Small-group entry at fixed times, arranged for you. 300 years - Village Museum. On the shore of Herastrau Lake, over 270 authentic buildings — peasant houses, wooden churches, windmills — collected from every region of Romania. Three centuries of rural life, preserved plank by plank, in Europe's oldest open-air museum of its kind.
