The mansion was amazing and shocking at the same time. It was such a shame that no photos were allowed or postcards of the interior available for sale. I felt the tour was a little rushed, I would have liked a little more time in each room to look at all the artefacts. Also the guide spoke very quickly and didn't seem to have passion for his work.

I was impressed by the palace. I recommend the visit, also because it is not possible to take pictures. A palace that has stood still in time. Tickets were hand delivered at the entrance, impeccable service.

Your Experience

Once you reach the Ceausescu Mansion, you will meet your guide for the day. Skip the long lines outside and enter the building with your fast-track tickets. Follow your guide through Nicolae Ceausescu's private office, the chess room, and the bedrooms. Everything is kept in place so you will see closets lined with fur coats that once belonged to Elena Ceausescu, or the dictator's pyjamas folded and placed on his bed. Walk past the family dining room and relaxation table, and learn about how the dictator lived a lavish life back then.

Make your way to the greenhouse, where the recreated tropical climate allowed for exotic fruits like bananas and pineapples to grow. Fun fact: Ceausescu was a fan of exotic birds too, which is why the garden was populated by peacocks. Last but not the least, head over to the indoor pool, which is decorated entirely in blue mosaic and has themes which are reminiscent of those from Ancient Rome. See all of this glamor in one house that was far away from people's eyes. This was where a dictator's family was living a lavish life, as the rest of the population were starving.
