Palace of Parliament

Really interesting place, a staple on the map in Bucharest. If you only have a time to see one thing I would recommend exactly this. Tickets are bought by the counter when you enter, we manage to enter 1.5h later on the last tour. Entering only with the tour guide and the group. The whole touring is 1 hour. The guide was really nice and funny. Had a great experience!

Worth doing a tour. For ease, we booked online through a third party but if you call the official sales office directly I think it’s cheaper. This place was an insane Ceausescu folly but it’s an impressive building they are trying to put it to good use. Ensure you get (and read) detailed instructions about where to enter the building because it’s massive.

This is a must-have visit when you are in town. There are many local resources used to built this extraordinary building but also the history is quite interesting to hear. Sad to know that the cost is high but the full extent is not used. The tour gives you 7% of the whole building but still enough to see the major ballrooms and conference rooms that are unique for this building. This building offer many one of a kind and world records so highly recommend to see it with your own eyes. We did not do any pre-work, thus we managed to book the time slot on spot, wait 2h and came back. There is a security check (no liquids, can buy after entering) into the building and then ID check once the guided tour starts. There is no possibility to wander around alone. I actually had a positive experience, especially thanks to the guide (man, under 30ties, laid back, sarcastic humour and attentive). Unfortunately cannot remember the name of the guide but highly recommend him. For fellow pregnant ladies, we did total over 100 stairs which was not bad at all. Buy water and bring it with you of visiting on a hot summer day.

Beautiful building, although the history behind it bit sad. One of the places you should visit during your travel to Bucharest. Our guide was also very polite and knowledge. If you have small children I do not recommend to bring trolley because there are lots of stairs.

The tour guide explained very well, she was very sophisticated, educated, and spoke well. There is a lot to learn and we had a great time. Very educational time. Pre-booking would be a better thing to do. You cannot take a water bottle inside. I recommend you to drink them up beforehand. There'll be a security check. An ID or a passport will be required to get in.

Massive and beautiful building — worth seeing even just from the outside. The scale is unbelievable up close, and the architecture is full of detail. A highlight of Bucharest and perfect for photos

Gorgeous building, definitely take a tour here! Just remember your passports. The tour guide we had was endearing and nice to listen to. Also just being there makes you feel rich when you’re not. So much gold 💸!

The trip is a bit short for such huge place but definitely worth to see. Group of tourist is not big and place is not crowded by others so you do the tour not disturbed by others. Must see while being in Bucharest! History and details of the place is very interesting especially about how was built Tickets are a bit pricy
