The tour includes stops at the Patriarchal Palace, once the headquarters of the Great National Assembly during communism, and the Palace of Parliament, the second largest building in the world. Participants will also see the Mihai Voda Monastery, notable for being relocated rather than demolished during communist urban changes.
