The Palace of Parliament was built as a consequence of the devastating earthquake of 1977 and a visit done by Ceausescu to North Korea. Its construction started during Nicolae Ceausescu’s regime in the 1980s with the demolition of an area of approximately one fifth of Bucharest surface. The construction works were finished in 1996 and at the height of the works at the end of the communist regime, the construction team numbered over 100 000 workers and hundreds of architects.

It is today the largest administrative civil building and also the most expensive one in the world. Today it houses a number of institutions such as the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, the Legislative Council, the Constitutional Court of Romania as well as being a venue for various conferences and events.

The Palace of Parliament can be visited daily between 09:00 – 17:00 with a booking in advance. All tours are guided and last for approximately 1 hour.

The Museum of Bucharest is housed in the Sutu Palace, a 19th century neo-gothic building.
Architects Konrad Schwink and Johann Veit designed the plans for thisunusual building for Bucharest of those times. The palace was finished in 1835. The interiors were heavily changed in 1862 by sculptor Karl Storck by adding the massive staircase and the mirror in the main hall.

The glory of the Sutu residence started in 1875 when it came into possesion of Grigore Sutu and his wife Irina. The couple were famous for hosting the first ball of the season during the New Year with selected members of society and for adding more to the glamour of the palace.

Finally, in 1959, the Museum of Bucharest opened in the palace. The museum can be visited from Wednesday to Sunday for a 10 lei entry ticket.
