This is an interesting place with a guided tour. The guide speaks very good English. The woodwork of the panels and the working desk is amazing, not to mention all the stained glasses, the tiles ,the swimming pool and the massage room. The story of Ceausescu's wife"s how she became an influential figure in the parliament is also interesting You have to be there to appreciate all the luxurious items,their life style which leads to the execution of the couple At the end of the tour, there is a coffee place for you to rest and admire the peacocks especially on a hot summer day

I have given this 4 stars as it really is fascinating and interesting place to visit in Bucharest giving you an insight into modern history of the country. Could be improved however by doing away with the tours and giving visitors headphones with a commentary on instead. Although our guide was good he was softly spoken and they pack too many people in on tours often making it difficult to listen. Also the souvenir shop is very poor with very little on sale esp related to the house and Ceasusecus Could be much improved in summary

I took a tour of the Ceaușescu Mansion during my recent vacation to Bucharest this year. The Mansion is very impressive and it's a lot larger than what it looks like from the outside. The daily tours sell out so you should buy tickets online and make a reservation. It's definitely worth visiting. I enjoyed the tour and took lots of pictures.

1. The house is definitely worth seeing. It looks fairly plain from outside, but is lavishly decorated and furnished inside. This is where the family actually lived, not in what is now called "The Palace of the Parliament". 2. Tickets are simple, but you cannot buy them on the door. 3. Tickets usually sell out a several days ahead, so plan and book online. 4. You are supposed to take a passport, it may not always be checked, but I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE IT to ensure you get in. A driving Licence will not suffice. 5. There are both English and Romanian tours. Audio headsets are available in various languages for an additional charge. Hope that makes your trip easier.

Beware that there are no photos allowed for some reason. Rooms are as they were last century and quite interesting. Who doesn't love a house with an indoor pool, a barber shop, a sauna, and more. Access to grounds is restricted which was a shame

I really enjoyed this tour - it gives you a great sense of just how lavishly this family lived while the rest of the country was starving. Please note that no pictures/videos are allowed, and the souvenir store is very limited. I wanted to buy a book with photos of the house, but they didn’t sell one.

Incredibly interesting and surreal experience. I have a great interest in this part of Romania’s history so this was a must-do on my recent trip to Bucharest. We viewed twenty rooms and our guide explained about each one’s function. Our guide allowed us ample time to have a good look around the room. There are placards positioned in each room explaining more about the room itself in English and Romanian languages. There is a gift shop and cafe at Casa Ceaușescu. If coming from Bucharest city centre, hop on the metro towards Pipera and get off at Aviatorilor. The mansion is then a 10-min walk away along a tree-lined boulevard.

Bring passports (though they weren’t asked for). We booked online. Arrive 15 minutes before your tour time. Quite interesting tour but the property was not as opulent as you would think. Pool & spa area are a touch over the top!! Lots of Peacocks in the garden. You must wear plastic overshoes to protect the carpet. No photography/video. Café & Toilets on site.

The official residence where the Ceausescu family lived from the mid-60s to the end of the 80s of the 20th century. The tour reveals the extravagant lifestyle of the family, the legends and the truths. The visit to the place is accompanied by a guide only, so it is recommended to make a reservation in advance.
