TOURS IN BUCHAREST

Visit (587 times)

Bucharest civic center:
The "Civic Center" is a portion of Bucharest which was completely rebuilt as part of the scheme of systematization under the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. 
Bucharest Civic Center includes numerous government offices and apartments, the latter being roughly equal in number to the housing units destroyed for its construction. The apartments were originally intended to house Romania's communist elite, but the completed complex is a rather bland and unappealing neighborhood, certainly not a preferred residence for the city's new capitalist elite, with the possible exception of buildings that look out on the now-bustling Unirea Square, where the Civic Center bisects the Dâmbovita River, which is channelled underground past the Square.
   
The Parliament Palace:
Beginning in 1972, Ceausescu instituted a program of systematization. Promoted as a way to build a "multilaterally developed socialist society," the program of demolition, resettlement, and construction began in the countryside, but culminated with an attempt to completely remodel the country's capital. Over one fifth of central Bucharest, including churches and historic buildings, was demolished during Ceausescu's rule in the 1980s, to rebuild the city in a socialist style. Many people died during the erection of The People's House ("Casa Poporului") in Bucharest, now the Parliament House, the world's second largest building after The Pentagon.
   
University square:
University Square is the place in central Bucharest where students were shot dead during Romania's 1989 anti-communist revolution.
   
Victory road:
Calea Victoriei (Avenue of Victory), on the site of the wood-paved Podul Mogosoaiei, has been Bucharest's most fashionable street since boyars first built their residences along it.
   
The Village Museum Bucharest:
The Village Museum, lying in a specific romanian setting, on the Herãstrãu lake shore in Bucharest, is one of the biggest and the oldest outdoors museum in Europe.
Bucharest's museums are a destination in themselves, especially the open - air Muzeul Satului (Village Museum) in the Herastrau Park near the Arcul de Triumf.
