About

1/5

Discover the main landmarks of communist history in Bucharest with our passionate local guides. We will start the tour in the Revolution Square by the former headquarters of the Romanian Communist Party and continue off the beaten path to see another face of Bucharest that we do not show on the other tours we offer.

During the walking tour we will share stories of communism in Romania, pros and cons of the period, the relation between the communist regime and religion, industry, labour, economy, culture and everyday life of the people. We try to be objective in presentation, but share true family stories and bring “nostalgic” items of the period.

We’ll walk from the Revolution square to the Jewish quarter and end the tour in front of Parliament Palace. Be prepared to explore the city in an almost 3-hour long walk while exploring life under the socialist regime and visiting sites that played a role in communist days.

On the tour, we cover sights and attractions such as:

Revolution Square

Former Headquarters of the Communist Party

University of Architecture

Coral Synagogue

Bucharest Court of Appeal

Palace of Parliament

The tour is great. You can learn much about the history/city but it’s not overwhelming or boring at all 😉 Elena is a wonderful guide – funny, knowledgeable and open-minded. We remembered a lot after the tour and enjoyed it very much!

Best to just call them to ask whether the tour is happening or not, clearly the website is not updated. We were 4 people who came there for nothing..
