Day 1: Old town, Parliament Palace, Romanian Atheneum
Start your day by wandering through Bucharest’s Old Town, a lively district where history and modern life intertwine.

Continue your day with an elegant visit to the Romanian Atheneum, Bucharest’s cultural crown jewel. This stunning neoclassical concert hall, with its circular architecture and grand columns, is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a symbol of Romania’s rich artistic heritage.
Your next destination is the monumental Parliament Palace, the second-largest administrative building in the world.

Day 2
Day 2: Village Museum and Ceausescu house
Your day in Bucharest offers a fascinating contrast between traditional Romanian village life and the grandeur of its more recent political history.
Begin your day with a visit to the Village Museum, a peaceful open-air museum located by the serene shores of Herastrau Lake. As you step inside, you’ll be transported back in time, walking through authentic rural homes, wooden churches, and windmills from various regions of Romania. The museum meticulously preserves the spirit of Romanian village life, showcasing traditional architecture and craftsmanship.
Next, step into a completely different world with a visit to the Ceausescu Mansion, also known as the Spring Palace. This lavish residence was once the private home of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania’s communist dictator, and his family. As you tour the opulent rooms, you’ll witness the contrast between the humble lives of ordinary Romanians and the extravagant lifestyle of the country’s most powerful man. The house is filled with luxury: from gilded furniture to sparkling chandeliers, lavish mosaics, and even a private cinema and swimming pool.
