What you can expect

Enjoy a fascinating 3-hour tour exploring the communist roots of the great city of Bucharest. Discuss the day to day life of Romanians during communism, from ration cards to the black market, to propaganda and the secret police.

As the dominant political ideology for more than 40 years, Bucharest is full of souvenirs of its communist past.
Begin the tour in front of the balcony where Ceausescu held his last speech, the Revolution Square. Hear the storey of the '89 Revolution and Romania's transition into democracy.

Discover the hidden churches that the communists wanted to forget about. See the contrast between the elegant city architecture and the communist blocks.

Continue the tour and explore the new districts of the “Socialist realism” built during the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu, including the Palace of the Parliament, designed as the absolute centre of power, and the buildings of the Civic Centre Project.
