Stop At: Palace of Parliament, Strada Izvor 2-4, Bucharest 050711 Romania

The Palace of the Parliament is the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon and the most expensive administrative building. For this, vast amounts of money, materials and work effort were needed. What is more, this structure was made by subjecting the Romanian people to shortages of all kinds during the 1980's.
You will hear the whole story of how this enormous building was made, what the locals think about it while having viewing it from different angles.
Standing across the palace is the Academia Romana building, a large scale construction in a similar style. It was intended for the use of the dictator’s wife, Elena Ceausescu.
However, like several other buildings from the 1980s, it was only half finished. Nowadays, a large section of it is left in ruins as a sore reminder of the dictator’s megalomaniac vision of Bucharest

Stop At: Mihai Voda Monastery, Strada Sapientei 4, Bucharest 050133 Romania

The Mihai Voda Churchh is a religious place from the Middle Ages which fortunately survived the demolition frenzy and is a testimony of how Bucharest looked before.
