Bucharest In Your Pocket - Parlament Palace Tour

http://bucharest.inyourpocket.com
Join the official tour of Romania's most famous building, Palatul Parlamentului (Parliament Palace) with tour guide Raluca Mitu.
Palatul Parlamentului (known universally as Casa Poporului, House of the People) was built during the darkest days of the Nicolae Ceauşescu regime. Standing 84m above ground level on 12 floors, the building has long been shrouded in mystery, rumour and hyperbole. Originally designed to house almost all the organs of the communist state, it today plays host to the Romanian parliament and a modern, well equipped conference centre, as well as Romanias Museum of Contemporary Art. Much of the building, however, remains unused.
The public tour of the building is thoroughly recommended (it is the only way to see the building, in fact) though the commentary consists of little more than a bored guide reeling off endless superlative statistics. Youll see plenty of grand staircases, marble-plated halls and conference rooms, while - depending on the mood of the guide - you may also have the chance to go on to the balcony, which offers the defining view of central Bucharest.
