Begin the tour in the city's most iconic square, full of landmarks such as the former Royal Palace (now the National Museum of Art), the former headquarters of the Communist Party, and the Central University Library.

Stroll along the quaint cobble stone streets of Old Town, to see firsthand the effects of the nationalization process led by the Communist regime on the city's beautiful 19th century architecture.

На другой знаковой площади Бухареста, чтобы увидеть потрясающий пример коммунистической архитектуры, превышающей реальные размеры, в виде Дворца Парламента, второго по величине административного здания в мире после Пентагона. Узнайте о разрушении исторических кварталов, чтобы возвести этот мегаломаниакальный, противоречивый комплекс сооружений, и зайдите за колоссальные здания, чтобы увидеть реликвии ушедшей эпохи.

At University Square, we explore one of the most powerful symbolic spaces in Bucharest’s recent history. This was the place where, in December 1989, protesters built barricades and confronted the regime during the Romanian Revolution, in the final days leading to the fall of communism. The square became a scene of courage, tension, and ultimately, change. We will also talk about the University Square phenomenon of 1990, when thousands of people gathered here for weeks in one of the longest anti-communist protests in Eastern Europe, demanding real democracy. This movement was violently suppressed during the June 1990 Mineriad, a key moment that shaped Romania’s post-communist path. More than just a central location, University Square remains a symbolic meeting point for Bucharest’s citizens, a place where people come together to mark important moments, protest, and express their voices. It continues to reflect the city’s spirit, memory, and ongoing connection to its recent past.
