Bucharest · PALACE OF PARLIAMENT TOURS

Visiting the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest

11 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $28

It is the heaviest building in the world and the second-largest administrative building after the Pentagon, and roughly a fifth of historic Bucharest was demolished in the 1980s to make room for it. Visits are guided only and reserved in advance; a passport or national ID card is checked at the door. The tours below differ mainly in which wings are on the route and whether the Senate chamber is included.

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 3,182 reviews · 1 hour · from $38

Guided 1-hour Palace of Parliament tour in Bucharest with Honor Hallway torsos, Pink Room, Music Hall, and a huge ballroom. $38.

“It was efficient and a good way to guarantee tickets on the day you want them. We tried twice to book directly with the parliament but they were always sold out. Laurențiu (or Romania guide round the parliament) was excellent. He made the tour fun and engaging with witty anecdotes and stories.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,877 reviews · 1 hour · from $28

Tour Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament, a Communist-era megastructure. Skip the ticket line, pass key state rooms, and get guided context in 1 hour.

“Very well managed with the reservation and the information update, thank you! The tour is quite short and the guide doesn't speak loudly enough and it was very difficult to hear, even if the information and the stories were very interesting. The maintenance of the building impressed us very bad - windows are very dirty and cables are installed in the ugliest possible way on the stairs and on the halls. It is needed more attention to the maintenance. The chandeliers were so dusty, that they were grey instead of shining and glittering. But all in all was a well spent time and it was interesting. Thank you!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,518 reviews · 1 hour · from $29

An hour-long, skip-the-line Parliament Palace tour in Bucharest, with an English guide and Ceaușescu-era history on 3 levels.

“Our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable about the parliament palace, the history behind it and also Romania’s history. He was charismatic and able to answer questions and engage with the group. He also gave many fun facts about the place and seemed to be very proud of the palace and his country which made the tour very enjoyable. I feel like he taught us a lot about Romania in a fun and passionate way. The parliament palace is definitely worth visiting and not to be missed.”

7.tour in the Parliament in Italian+exterior visit with guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26 reviews · from $40

Italian guided Bucharest tour with monastery and city stops, then a Parliament interior visit with Italian guide, 2.5 hours, small groups.

“La guida, Daniela, era brava, preparata e si esprimeva, bene, in italiano Il tour all’Interno del Palazzo del Parlamento è stato troppo breve. Non è stata mostrata neanche la camera dei Deputati, ma il solo Senato. Viste le dimensioni dell’edificio, la visita doveva essere più ampia, tenuto conto anche del costo pagato ( € 35,00 per persona, oltre a € 12,00 per il biglietto di ingresso nel palazzo)”

“Excellent tour guide, Tudor with Rolandia Travel. We started with a tour of a local neighborhood. Then the National Parliament tour. After that the Village Museum which was okay. Then we had a quick lunch and skipped the tour of the old town for paying extra for a tour of Nikolai Ceaucescu's family home. Very interesting after seeing the National Parliament. Old town is easy to see on your own.”
