Overview
Bucharest, once known as "Little Paris”, has suffered a lot under the Communist Regime. The destruction of the city reached an unprecedented scale, in just a few years more than 10.000 houses disappearing and more than 57.000 people being forced to move.
This tour takes all the different elements of the Communist regime and discusses them. From private life to politics and the age of `great realization`, we will see how a city transformed to its current state. From industrial giants to economic collapse, from repression to cold, hunger and anger, we`ll see how a madman`s vision affected millions of lives.
Our guides put a lot of effort into making this tour as great as it is, and we think an appropriate tip for their effort is 20 euros / person.
The tours start at 10.00, every Tuesday and Thursday.
