The route continues to the Arch of Triumph, a monument commemorating Romania’s role in World War I, modeled after its Parisian counterpart. The tour passes the House of the Free Press, a symbol of the communist era now renamed after 1989. It also goes along Calea Victoriei, Bucharest’s oldest and most famous street, lined with shops, cafes, and historic buildings. Other stops include the Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the site of Ceausescu’s last speech, the Royal Palace built in 1937, Palatul CEC bank building, and the nearby National History Museum. The route passes the Palace of Parliament, the world’s second largest administrative building, and reaches Unirii Square, known for its synchronized fountains and access to the Old Town and Manuc’s Inn hotel.
