What
we
planned?
Unquestionably
Romania’s
most
famous
building,
The
Palace
of
Parliament
(known
universally
as
Casa
Poporului)
was
built
during
the
“darkest
days”
of
the
Nicolae
Ceausescu
regime.
Standing
84m
above
ground
level
on
12
floors,
the
building
has
long
been
shrouded
in
mystery,
rumor
and
hyperbole.
The
tour
will
reveal
some
of
the
mysteries.

Peles
Castle

by
an
aura
of
mystery
and
legend
and
perched
high
atop
a
200-­‐foot-­‐high
rock,
Bran
Castle
owes
its
fame
to
its
imposing
towers
and
turrets
as
well
as
to
the
myth
created
around
Bram
Stocker's
Dracula.
Valea
Cetatii
Cave
