Visiting the Parliament Building is an experience that leaves you speechless. Its size is difficult to describe in words: endless rooms, marble everywhere, and heavy crystal chandeliers. It is all majestic, but walking through the corridors, you can also feel the weight of history and the sacrifices made to build it. I highly recommend the guided tour, but remember to book in advance and bring your passport, otherwise you won't be allowed in. A must-see in Bucharest!

    The audio guide is an interesting recording but you can only visit the palace with a guided tour (which is not included)

    I bought two audio guides, but when we tried to connect, the link for the second person wasn't working. The live chat support was helpful until they realized it wasn't working at all... and then nothing! So we paid for two, but only one worked. Otherwise, the explanations are good.

  • Get the best of both worlds: join a live English-speaking guided tour for an in-depth walk-through, and add a multilingual audio guide to explore at your own pace afterward or recap what you learned.

    Getting started

    Bypass long ticket queues and crowds with skip-the-line access to the Palace of Parliament, Bucharest. After the mandatory security, ID, and bag checks with metal detectors, you can begin your tour right away. 

    What to expect

    The Palace of Parliament was built between 1984 and 1997, Romania’s turbulent years under communist rule. Your English-speaking guide will show you around the opulent building, including the lavishly decorated ballroom, over 500 chandeliers, 1,400 mirrors, and the Dictator’s Balcony with its grand views of the Fountains Boulevard.

    Discover more of the palace on a self-paced tour with an audio guide in a language of your preference. Available in five languages—English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish—the audio guide is full of rich detail and in-depth insights about the history and impressive architecture of this monumental building. Learn about its construction under Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, its massive size (it’s the heaviest building in the world, weighing more than 4 million tonnes!), and fascinating facts like its eight underground levels, nuclear bunker, and secret catacombs. Explore at your convenience, focusing on what captures your attention the most!
