Itinerary
On a day trip to Bucharest, you can visit one of the most controversial administrative buildings in the world. With this private tour at The Palace of Parliament or People’s House, you will learn how dangerous and damaging it can be for a nation to let a totalitarian regime like communism take over. In front of one of the biggest constructions in the world, you will feel small seeing what pointless opulence and megalomania “the sleep of reason” can create.
Taking a selfie up-close will prove difficult, because you will be trying to capture the second-largest administrative building on the planet, after the Pentagon, and that it will be an experience you will be able to share with your grandchildren.

One of the tallest wooden churches in Romania (57m height)
In the same way you feel the eternal, primordial connection with the earth when you walk barefoot through the grass, you will experience a spiritual connection with the sky and God as you step into the courtyard of the most beautiful wooden monastery in Romania, the Barsana Monastery.
If you think you have seen astonishing places before, of such divine beauty that you felt they were a piece of heaven on earth, this trip to Maramures might have you reconsider.
With its fairytale scenery and timeless history, this magical place has fascinated both tourists and locals for hundreds of years.
The Voroneț Monastery is a medieval monastery in the Romanian village of Voroneț, now a part of the town Gura Humorului. It is one of the famous painted monasteries from southern Bukovina, in Suceava County.[1] The monastery was constructed by Stephen the Great in 1488 over a period of 3 months and 3 weeks to commemorate the victory at Battle of Vaslui. Often known as the "Sistine Chapel of the East", the frescoes at Voroneț feature an intense shade of blue known in Romania as "Voroneț blue."
