What we planned?
Unquestionably Romania’s most famous building, The Palace of Parliament (known universally as Casa Poporului) was built during the “darkest days” of the Nicolae Ceausescu regime. Standing 84m above ground level on 12 floors, the building has long been shrouded in mystery, rumor and hyperbole. The tour will reveal some of the mysteries.

Parachute Jumps

What we planned?
After a full day of visiting, we’ll take you to experience the vibrant Bucharest nightlife. First, a traditional dinner with amazing Romanian food and a lot of INSEAD alumni. Then, we’ll have drinks in the Old City. For those who are keen for clubbing, we’ll be going to one of the posh clubs in town.

The second day of our trip will take us to Transylvania. We’ll introduce you to our kings and counts J, we’ll have lunch at 1,400m altitude and we’ll visit an awesome cave (if we are lucky, we’ll get there just in time for the concert).
Peles Castle
Located in Sinaia (44 km from Brasov), Peles Castle is considered by many one of the most beautiful castles in all Europe. It was the final resting place for several Romanian monarchs including King Carol I, who died here in 1914.
In Transylvania
Bran Castle – aka Dracula’s Castle
Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-‐foot-‐high rock, Bran Castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker's Dracula.
Valea Cetatii Cave
Within a natural protected area, the Valea Cetăţii Cave is an outstanding touristic attraction that offers a tourist trail of incredible brightness and beauty. Moreover, the city Philharmonics of Brasov holds weekly concerts in the cave!!
