Guided tour of the Parliament Palace

13 September Street, Entrance B3

The 2:30 PM tour will be conducted in French.

   If you visit Bucharest, do not miss the largest and most expensive administrative building in the world: the Palace of the Parliament. It rises to a height of 86 meters, sinks 90 meters underground, and covers an area of 330,000 square meters.

   Sign up now for a guided tour to uncover the secrets of this building and discover Nicolae Ceaușescu's intentions regarding it, had he succeeded in completing it during his term as President of Romania.

   School groups participating in the "Another School" (Școala Altfel) or "Green Week" (Săptămâna Verde) programs are invited to contact us for more details.

   This is the only guided tour that allows tourists to enter the building through the access that Nicolae Ceaușescu used to reach his office, called "Cabinet No. 1".

   It is also the only guided tour that grants access to the plenary session room — where Romania's only atomic clock is located — and that allows you to get close to the steel cylinder buried by Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1984 under the main staircase of entrance A1; this cylinder contains data and details related to the construction project.
