Explore Bucharest’s Museum of Communism, handle original objects, learn about Romania’s past, and taste a cup of communist coffee.
“A nice small private museum in the old town, 45 min to 1 hour, good for a quick stop. Probably more fun with others than solo as there are photo ops, dressing up, music etc. Very interactive. Some of the text felt simplistic and described things that were very normal everywhere in the 1950s-1990s as being evils of communism. They could maybe do with a more expert or broadly expert historian on staff. Communist coffee was a very fun novelty and quite tasty, I can't tell the difference between it and Nescafe but I am not a conniseur at all! Toilet facilities clean, nice small bar area, no gift shop.”

“This was a great experience. Our guide Alexandra took us on a journey back in time making the communist era of Romania truly come to life. The museum was set out like someone’s home during the years of Communism with lots of exhibits on display, giving us a real feel for how life was like. The best part of the tour was when we sat down in the living room where we were served a three course meal, typical of what people would have had in România during communist times. Alexandra joined us in the meal and was explaining all about the food and the traditions. So together with another…”

“Excellent tour guide, Tudor with Rolandia Travel. We started with a tour of a local neighborhood. Then the National Parliament tour. After that the Village Museum which was okay. Then we had a quick lunch and skipped the tour of the old town for paying extra for a tour of Nikolai Ceaucescu's family home. Very interesting after seeing the National Parliament.
