I missed the 10:30 am walking tour, so I toured on my own. It was a long
walk to the Palace of Parliament, the world's biggest parliamentary
building (a folly and testament to the megalomania of former dictator
Nicolae Ceaușescu and a display of Romanian materials and engineering). I
did not get in since I left my passport at the hostel. I strolled in
the lovely botanic gardens and the relaxing Cișmigiu Park, and checked
out some historical churches. — checked in to Palace of the Parliament.

took the free walking tour at 6 pm, which covered history around the
Stavropoleos Convent, Ruins of Vlad’s Citadel, Manuc’s Inn, Revolution
Spots, Victory Blvd, etc. Bucharest is a booming city with many large
infrastructure projects changing the old face of the city, although it
was known in the past as "The Little Paris." Like other Balkans
countries, protests are common here, and I saw one on my way back to
hostel. — checked in to Parc Unirii.
