Red patrol in Romania: Take a Communist tour of Bucharest in a Dacia!
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The latest tourist attraction in Romania's capital is a journey back to the days of Communism aboard a Dacia, footage filmed in Bucharest on Tuesday shows.
This was the idea of Serban Cornaciu, who lived to see the so-called Golden Age of Nicolae Ceausescu and will show you the joys of riding the Romanian version of a Renault 12.
Cornaciu has two cars, a 29-year-old Dacia 1310 called Domnica and a 35-year-old ivory called Malvina.
The two cars take foreign and domestic tourists on guided tours of what Communism has left as legacy to Bucharest, including the Palace of Parliament, the Museum of Communism and the Central Committee's balcony, where Ceausescu delivered his last speech on December 21st in 1989.
Four tourists get a chance to drive the old-school car with no power steering, on-board computer or air conditioning for three hours at the price of 190 euros ($215).

Palace of the Parliament tour - Bucharest
A guided tour of The Palace of the Parliament, also known as The People's Palace. Although the tour only covers about 5% of the building, we see some of the grand architecture and design. Ceausescu's demands for opulence meant everything had to be built on a grand scale, not matter what the cost.... and this building is no exception. This is the second biggest administrative building in the world (after The Pentagon) and is also the heaviest. It's also the most expensive in Europe.
Bucharest City | Romania

Bucharest, in southern Romania, is the country's capital and commercial center. Its most iconic structure is the massive, communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building, which has 1,100 rooms. Nearby, the historic Lipscani district is home to an energetic nightlife scene as well as tiny Eastern Orthodox Stavropoleos Church and 15th-century Curtea Veche palace, where Prince Vlad III (“The Impaler”) once ruled.
???????? ROMANIA: Bucharest - Ceausescu's Spring Palace Tour | TRAVEL VLOG #0151
Nicolae Ceausescu was Romania’s last communist leader, and he left quite an impression on the city of Bucharest, from the razed old town to make way for the new Palace of the Parliament, to the blocks and blocks of huge apartment buildings to house the displaced citizens, to the opulent, over-the-top mansion he had built in the city for himself and his family. That house has recently been opened to the public as a museum. Come along with me on this video tour.

Jewish Bucharest Tour
A quick introductory video tour into the Jewish Bucharest.
Use your visit to Romania to explore the Jewish history of the country. Although, much of Bucharest's Jewish quarter was knocked down during the Communist times, many unique artifacts have been preserved and are now exhibited in the Jewish History Museum housed in the former Synagogue of Tailors. The Great Synagogue of Bucharest, hidden behind the Communist-era apartment buildings, is a beautiful and well preserved Temple. The Holocaust museum, located in the Temple, features photographs, people's testaments, facts and figures related to this tragic time. Coral Temple, which is undergoing interior works and is closed for visits now, is the 3d temple in Bucharest. The Holocaust memorial is a must.
Jewish Bucharest tour is a must for those interested in learning about the past and present of Romania's and Bucharest's Jewry.
Jewish Bucharest tour can be arranged as a shore excursion for those coming to Constanta with a cruise. More about our Constanta and Bucharest tours and shore excursions at odessawalks.com

Bucharest - Visiting Romania For The First Time
It’s our first trip to Bucharest, Romania and we ask should you take a city break in the Romanian capital.
Read more about our trip:
We take a Bucharest city tour and try some of the local food, #experiencebucharest
As well as touring the city and visiting Nicolae Ceausescu’s Palace, old town Bucharest and Bucharest’s very own Arcul de Triumf we visit the infamous neighbourhood of Pantelimon. With its rows and rows of 1970’s communist housing block, it did have a very poor reputation and was the home to Romanian rap band B.U.G. Mafia. Things have changed in recent years and the parks and public area have been cleaned up.
Romanians love garlic and we try a traditional lunch with garlic as we are told bloodthirsty stories of Vlad the Impaler, the original Dracula.
As well as the palace there is no escaping the influence of Nicolae Ceausescu on Bucharest and Romania. He ordered destruction of many of the old buildings in order to build a Romanian communist utopia.
Finally in 1989 there was a revolution and unlike the rest of Europe this was not a peaceful one.
Things have changed since 1989, Romania joined the EU in 2007 and in 2019 Romania will be the president of the EU council, so all eyes will be on Romania and Bucharest.
So, we ask should you make Bucharest the destination for your next city break in Europe and the answer is definitely, yes. #Bucharest #Romania

Tour of Ceauşescu's Palace in Bucharest, Romania
You have to see it to believe it. A guided tour of Ceauşescu's Palace (officially Palace of the Parliament, in Romanian: Palatul Parlamentului, formerly Casa Poporului), the world's largest civillian administrative building. It is the heaviest building on earth and one of the few that can still be identified from space. The as yet uncompleted Palace measures 270 m by 245 m, with a height of 86 m, and goes 92 m deep below the ground. It has 1,100 rooms and currently houses the Romanian parliament which, however, takes up only a fraction of the available space. The volume of the building was planned the be 2% greater than the Cheops pyramid in Egypt and is second only to the Pentagon in the United States.
The building is constructed entirely of materials from Romania. It is estimated to contain one million cubic meters of marble and 3,500 tonnes of crystal. 480 chandeliers as well as 1,409 ceiling lights and mirrors were manufactured. 700,000 tonnes of steel and bronze for monumental doors and windows, chandeliers and capitals were used. It contains 900,000 m³ of wood for parquet and wainscotting, including walnut, oak, sweet cherry, elm, sycamore and maple as well as 200,000 m² of woolen carpets of various dimensions, with machines having had to be moved inside the building to weave some of the larger carpets. Hundreds of architects, under the leadership of Anca Petrescu, were involved in the project of building the Palace, which began in 1983. Its total costs were estimated to have been 3 billion euros at 2006 value.
Many ordinary Romanians paid a very high price for the palace's construction. It required much of Bucharest's historic district to be demolished, including 19 Orthodox churches, six synagogues and three Protestant churches. Eight churches were relocated, and 30,000 people lost their dwellings.

How churches were lifted to safety in communist Bucharest
A bit bruised but still standing, old Orthodox churches can be found around Bucharest, having escaped the frenzied demolition of the Romanian capital in the 1980s ordered by ex-communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. At least 10 jewels of Romania's religious heritage from the 16th to 19th centuries survived due to an engineering tour de force: they were moved and hidden away.
