Itinerary
Find out about the communist regime and its main leader Ceausescu, how he raised to power and how he was, finally, executed for crimes against his people.
Bucharest of all cities was severely impacted by Ceausescu’s decisions and his crazy dream to destroy the old city and build a new communist one, that also includes the huge Parliament building. You will have the chance to stop in a place where there was an entire neighborhood, fully demolished at the request of the glorious leader.
The tour also takes you through all the struggles of the Romanian people, from lack of basic food, heat, lack of privacy and the fear to do anything else than the Party wanted.

It all started on a Sunday, at a family lunch, when, after a good meal and a glass of wine, our parents accidentally, but call it fate, told us stories from old #Bucharest, about their daily lives, cultural events, and urban myths.
