Aug 30, 2025 - Bucharest, Romania

Viking provided a tour of “Panoramic Bucharest” by bus around Bucharest to see some of the most important areas in Bucharest, and then took us to walk around the Old Town with attractions such as Palace of the Parliament, Revolution Square, CEC Palace, Kretzulescu Church, Saint Nicholas Church and Curtea Vecho Church.

In the afternoon, we went to an Viator tour to visit Palace of the Parliament.  We did not want to walk under the hot sun, so we called an Uber to take us to the meeting point of the tour.  Viator only gathered us together and walked us to the palace.  There was an official guide from the palace to provide the tour.  So we think Viator’s charges were too high.  


The Palace of Parliament, also known as the People’s House, is a massive government building in Bucharest, Romania. It is the heaviest building in the world and one of the largest administrative buildings globally. The significance lies in its historical and architectural importance as well as its association with the country’s communist past. It is one of Bucharest's most visited tourist attractions.

With approximately 1000 rooms of which 440 are offices, more than 30 ballrooms, 4 restaurants, 3 libraries, 2 underground parking lots, 1 big concert room, 1 unfinished pool, and thousands of square meters in which no one knows what is happening, the Palace of Parliament offers you contradictory feelings every time you step on its doorstep.
