    Revolution Square is a square in central Bucharest, on Calea Victoriei. It was renamed after the Romanian Revolution of December 1989. The square houses the building of the former Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party (from where Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife fled by helicopter on December 22, 1989). In 1990, the building became the seat of the Senate and since 2006 it houses the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform.

  • Ceausescu Mansion, Bucharest, Romania
    There’s no better place to visit in Romania than Ceausescu Mansion to understand the double standards of the communist regime or the absurd cult of personality of one of its most ruthless dictators. Opened in 2016 for visitors, Ceausescu Mansion was back in the dark and freezing communist days one of the best-kept secrets of the regime. Only the closest members of the family and the highest rank party members had access to Ceausescu’s residence. Why all the secrecy you wonder if he was ‘the first son of the nation’ who was guiding Romania to the ‘Golden Age’?

  • House of the Free Press, Bucharest, Romania
    The House of the Free Press (Casa Presei Libere), formerly called Casa Scânteii, is one of the landmarks of Bucharest reminiscent of the communist regime. The edifice was built during the regime (between 1952 and 1957) and served as headquarters of the party’s publication (Scânteia) being, thus, by design, an institution completely subject to the communist authorities. In reaction to this juncture, subsequently to the 1989 Revolution, the name of the building was changed into the House of the Free Press. The building combines elements promoted by the Russian Soviet architecture with details typical of the religious architecture cultivated in Wallachia and Moldavia. Just like most of the megastructures erected during the communist regime, the building strikes by its dimensions. The horizontal coordinate of the edifice exceeds its vertical line, and the difference is so considerable, that the aesthetic impact can hardly be overlooked.

  • Bulevardul Carol I 49, Târgoviște, Romania
    Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena Ceausescu fled Bucharest on December 22, 1989 as a result of the beginning of the anti-communist revolution. On the same day they were arrested and imprisoned in the military base in Targoviste for the next three days. On December 25, they were tried for genocide in the same building. They were considered guilty and sentenced to death. They were shot in the inner courtyard of the building shortly after the court hearings were completed.

Bucharest is a huge city with lots of cultural attractions; museums, churches, historical buildings, and a beautiful park museum of ancient houses from Transylvania. There are lots of green spaces and lakes around the city. There is a metro system with 4 lines that is easy to navigate and a range of buses. The old town is crammed with amazing restaurants and is vibrant and full of energy. The people are friendly and helpful too. A must see is the mountainous area of Transylvania and the castles (Bram castle is probably the most picturesque.) It’s a long day trip (12 hours) but definitely worth it. I’d definitely recommend a city break in Bucharest. We stayed 4 nights and managed to tick off everything on our ‘to do’ list.

Grâce à notre guide exceptionnelle Mircea, nous avons fais un bond dans le passé et nous avons eu l’occasion parfaite de pouvoir connaître une multitude de détails sur la vie des roumains pendant la période communiste et surtout de connaître plus en détails les membres de la famille Ceausescu L’ancien dictateur de la révolution qui a été fusillé avec sa femme en 1989, ils ont eu trois enfants ( Nicu, Zoe et Valentin) 2 D’entre eux sont morts mais 1 vit toujours actuellement en Roumanie. Nous avons tout d’abord visiter des endroits de Bucarest important dans l’histoire de la révolution romaine de 1989 ensuite nous sommes allés voir la maison de la famille Ceausescu qui vaut vraiment le détour et enfin de lieu où ils ont passé les trois derniers jours de leur vie avant d’être exécuté ensemble. Toutes les entrées étaient compris dans le prix, et nous avons eu la grande chance d’avoir un guide extrêmement patient , très cultivé plein de bonnes volontés. Le vrai plus de ce parcours c’est que notre guide a vécu toute la révolution lui-même et ils nous en a parler d’une manière vraiment très passionnant! Grand bravo, bravo a Mircea e à son frère Sebastian pour cette excursion nous avons vraiment passé une journée tout à fait fantastique!!
