Reginetta Hotels offer you a city tour, with a guide that speaks Italian and English. We can introduce you to some of our attraction points:
People's House - Palace of the Parliament
The Palace of the Parliament is a multi-purpose building containing both chambers of the Romanian Parliament. According to the Guiness Book of World Records , the Palace is the world's largest civilian administrative building, most expensive administrative building, and heaviest building.
The Palace was designed and nearly completed by the Ceausescu regime as the seat of political and administrative power. Nicolae Ceausescu named it the House of the Republic (Casa Republicii), but many Romanians call it the People's House (Casa Poporului).
The Triumphal Arch is a arch located in the northern part of Bucharest, on the Kiseleff Road.
The current arch has a height of 27 meters and was built after the plans of the architect Petre Antonescu.It has as its foundation a 25 x 11.50 meters rectangle. The sculptures with which the facades are decorated were created by famous Romanian sculptors such as Ion Jalea and Dimitrie Paciurea.
The Village Museum is an open-air ethnographic museum, showcasing traditional Romanian village life. It was created in 1936 by Dimitrie Gusti and contains 50 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.

The square also houses the building of the former Central Comitee of the Romanian Communist Party (from where Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife fled by helicopter on December 22, 1989). In 1990, the building became the seat of the Senate and since 2006 it houses the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform.
The Romanian Athenaeum is a concert hall in the center of Bucharest and a landmark of the Romanian capital city. Opened in 1888, the ornate, domed, circular building is the city's main concert hall and home of the George Enescu Phillarmonic and of the George Enescu annual international music festival.
The National Museum of Art of Romania is located in the former royal palace Revolution Square, completed in 1937.

The memorial complex was inaugurated in August 2005 in Revolution Square, where Romania's Communist-era dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu , was publicly overthrown in December 1989.
The Central University Library of Bucharest was founded in 1895 as the Carol I Library of the University Foundation.
