Bukarest under kommunismen: Liv, terror og håb
Beskrivelse
Tre årtier er gået siden kommunismens bortgang. På trods af den enorme vækst, Rumænien har oplevet lige siden, er resterne af dette regime stadig mærkbare. Det er grunden til, at de fleste aspekter af hverdagen blev transformeret af kommunismen: fra den politiske klasse til offentlig sundhedspleje til byarkitekturen. Find ud af de mange chokerende fortællinger om, hvordan livet var under kommunismen. Lær desuden om den brutalitet, hvormed dette system blev håndhævet i Rumænien. Få indblik i diktatoren Ceausescus fascinerende livshistorie, fra hans barndom til hans henrettelse. Forstå endelig den svære overgang fra socialisme til demokrati, som Rumænien oplevede. Dette er en fordybende halvdagstur rundt i Bukarest, der vil tage dig til nogle af de vigtigste kommunistiske seværdigheder.

Beliggende midt i byen, blev Unirii Square designet under kommunismens sidste fase i Rumænien. Spektakulært takket være dets pragtfulde springvand, krydses det også af den største allé i Bukarest: den tidligere Socialismes sejrsboulevard. At stå her og gå en tur på boulevarden vil afsløre den megalomane vision, som den rumænske diktator havde i vente til Bukarest.
Parlamentets palads er den næststørste bygning i verden efter Pentagon og den dyreste administrative bygning. Vi vil se denne bygning udefra og få en sand fornemmelse af dens gigantiske størrelse. Til dette var der brug for enorme mængder penge, materialer og arbejdsindsats. Desuden blev denne struktur skabt ved at udsætte det rumænske folk for mangel af alle slags i 1980'erne. Du vil høre hele historien om, hvordan denne enorme bygning blev lavet, hvad lokalbefolkningen synes om det, mens man har set det fra forskellige vinkler. Stående på tværs af paladset er Academia Romana bygningen, en storskala konstruktion i en lignende stil. Den var beregnet til brug af diktatorens kone, Elena Ceausescu. Men ligesom flere andre bygninger fra 1980'erne var det kun halvt færdigt. I dag er en stor del af den efterladt i ruiner som en smertefuld påmindelse om diktatorens megalomaniske vision af Bukarest.
Du finder ud af, hvordan nogle kirker blev ødelagt, mens andre blev reddet på en chokerende måde under den kommunistiske periode. Kirker gemt bag de utilitaristiske bygninger er et mærkeligt syn, der skildrer, hvordan kommunistpartiet håndterede religion. Mihai Voda Churchh er et religiøst sted fra middelalderen, som heldigvis overlevede nedrivningsvanviddet og er et vidnesbyrd om, hvordan Bukarest så ud før.
Revolutionspladsen er, hvor det kommunistiske regime begyndte, og hvor det hele sluttede med folkets protester under revolutionen i 1989. Du vil se bygningen, der husede Ceausescus kontor, balkonen, hvor diktatoren havde sin sidste tale, og de steder, der så den første tale. massedemonstration i Bukarest. Her vil du forstå, hvad der skete med dem, der demonstrerede mod totalitarisme, historien bag monumentet dedikeret til dem, og hvad der skete i kølvandet på revolutionen.
Det sted, hvor de vigtigste protester mod kommunismen fandt sted i 1989, hvor hundredvis blev massakreret for deres tro på et frit samfund.

I am deeply disappointed with this experience; it is definitely not worth the price. The tour guide (I believe his name was Stefan) had a terrible attitude. The entire time he was rushing us and didn't give us enough time to actually enjoy the places we visited. The icing on the cake was when he called me just to yell at me because I decided to stay behind instead of returning with the group. Since I couldn’t enjoy the castles properly, I explained to him that it was my birthday and I wanted to stay longer to explore. He rudely snapped back, asking if I thought he was going to wait for me until tomorrow. Terrible service altogether. He didn’t explain anything well; we paid for a Spanish tour, but he spoke in English most of the time, and when he did speak Spanish, it was barely understandable. On top of that, he was rude and completely lacked empathy.
I really enjoyed the Bucharest Under Communism: Life, Terror & Hope tour last weekend and it was a really great experience. The tour was very interesting and well explained, with lots of insights into what life was actually like during the communist period. Also as a bonus we got overall tips for the city (where to eat, where to go to etc) The guide made the history easy to understand and engaging, sharing stories that you wouldn’t get just by reading or visiting on your own. It really helps you see Bucharest or Romania from a local.
Thank you very much for booking the tour of Communism, Cornee! It was a pleasure to meet, to show you around, to share stories about the city's past and from the private lives of people who lived through the Communist period. We wish you all the best and many great travels!
Stefania was an incredible guide from start to finish! She communicated before the tour, met the two of us (no one else booked on) in pouring rain (our choice, we were unable to do any other day, though this was offered to us) and Stefania was so knowledgeable, professional and kind. The 3+ hours tour flew by and we had a sense of the city of Bucharest and its people that no other experience in our visit had provided for us. Thankyou Stefania!!

Very good tour with Laura who did an amazing job at showing us around and displaying the city in an historical perspective. Really an eye opening experience! I do recommend :)
Laura was fantastic! She was so kind and shared great facts about Romania’s history. A perfect way to start our trip. Highly recommend!
This is a fantastic introduction to Romanian history and in particular the recent history under communism until the revolution in 1989. Tamar was knowledgeable and an excellent guide
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and found it to be a great introduction to Romanian history. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and wish you wonderful future travels!
We had already done the morning tour of the old city and in the afternoon we also did the “communism” tour. Laura was professional, nice and explained so many things that we did not know.
Laura showed us the highlights of Bucharest, we had a great and fun experience. Starting at the center and the end at the Parliament with some good tips about local food
