There is no banner or commercial made to promote Bucharest that doesn't depict the Parliament Palace; and rightly so! The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is both a fascinating and controversial tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to marvel at its grandeur. With its impressive architecture and rich history, it is one of the largest administrative buildings in the world and a symbol of the city and the country.

According to the World Record Academy, the Parliament Palace (or the People's House as it was known before 1989) holds 3 records: the third largest administrative building for civilian use by area in the world, the most expensive administrative building in the world and the heaviest building in the world. Reason enough to visit? We say yes, and what's more, we are convinced that you will simply be overwhelmed by its magnitude.

You should know that most tourists spend at least two hours visiting the Parliament Palace. Today, this building in the center of the capital, on Izvor Street, houses the Romanian Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
