People's Palace

The People's Palace is a large building in Bucharest, Romania. It was built by the then-dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in the 1980s. Today the Romanian Parliament meets in the building. Many Parliament members have offices inside. The building faces an avenue built to look like the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

Biggest administrative building in the world, a must see as it puts communism into perspective for visitors. Prepare for lots of stairs as a visitor and much walking around (no complaints, to clarify)

Ceausescu's ambitious urban development plan represents one of the most extravagant and expensive building projects in the history of mankind. Don’t forget book a tour and passport before you visit.

Ceausescu's Palace of the People took 3 shifts of 20000 workers & 700 architects 5 years to complete. At 330000 square metres it is the 2nd largest building in the world.
