Om
Snabba fakta: Sunlight pours through stained-glass windows onto marble staircases and gilded ceilings, so wandering the state rooms feels like stepping into a living painting. Guided tours reveal surprising details: a vast presidential art collection and a hidden network of service corridors that once linked private apartments with official halls.
Höjdpunkter: Step into the marble-lined main foyer and you'll notice a tiny brass plaque dated 1893 with the architect Paul Gottereau's name, a reminder that the current shell was reshaped for King Carol's court. In the quieter wings a faded silk wallpaper still smells faintly of lavender and mothball, and a portrait of Queen Marie watches over a single velvet armchair that's been kept exactly where she used to sit, rumor has it because staff never dared move it.
Insidertips
- Wear smart casual clothing, some rooms are formal and require respectful attire.
- Bring photo ID if you plan to use student or senior discounts.
- For best facade and garden photos, shoot from the central courtyard or the raised terrace.
- Choose the first morning or last afternoon tour to avoid larger midday groups.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Bucharest, Romania, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
