The Tour in Detail

The meeting place is outside the metro station Gorjului, exit A. The flat is 5 minutes away, which allows us a short walk through the neighborhood. We will see what communist architecture and urbanism looked like in the 70s, and how it has transformed in the post-communist period.

Once at the flat, you will be able to visit all the rooms and interact with all the objects that made up the life of a Romanian during that era: clothes, food items, furniture, toys, kitchen utensils, hobby and leisure items etc.

Experience what it was like to be a guest in such a flat as your guide treats you to a snack and drink from that period and tells you historical facts and personal stories.
