Muzeul Nicolae Iorga

Reviewed By 600andreeap - Bucharest, Romania

I did not expect to like this place so much. It's full of history and wonderful art work, special furniture, books written by the great Nicolae Iorga, bits and pieces from the politician's life. The curators were so kind and friendly, they did a great job! Make sure you visit the whole complex - the religious part has some incredible pieces of history to share.

Palatul Brancovenesc

Reviewed By patriciagO3077AB - Bucharest, Romania

We really enjoyed visiting the domain. Everything is clean and there is so much space. The guided tour is appropriate for everyone and it brings you closer to history. I enjoyed walking in the gardens and visiting the church. Entrance is 10 lei for adults and 5 for students.

The place is beautiful and green. Sadly, because of the Covid pandemic, you can't visit the museum. You can visit the village museum. It is beautiful and has a loooot of houses from different regions. It also has equestrian lessons..but again, because of the pandemic, they are not available.

You have to visit it. It is one of the few memorials in the country about communist prisons and is the place where the most terrible actions of re-education of detainees took place. And has the best organized exhibition about what happened in Romania.
