There is a lot to see and there are many things to do in Bucharest. It will take a couple of days to properly see all of the sights, so if time is short, here is some Bucharest tourist information. If all you have is an afternoon, visit the Peasant Museum, before walking through Lipscani to Piata Unirii, and admiring the Palatul Parlamentului. If you have a full day, start off with the guided tour of Palatul Parlamentului, enjoy a stroll around Lipscani and then head uptown to visit the Peasant Museum, Village Museum and Arcul de Triumf. Something that definitely should not be missed is the city’s must-see: the Communist Iconography Exhibition inside the Peasant Museum. It’s a small but stunning cellar room featuring a collection of communist-era busts, paintings and nostalgic memorabilia.
