Primaverii Palace (House of Ceauşescu)

#bucketlistreboot House of Ceauşescu Talking about Ceaușescu and palaces, let’s dwell a bit more on this topic. Another item on your list should be his former residence. It was for a quarter of a century (1965-1989) the private residence of Nicolae and Elena Ceauşescu and of their children, Nicu, Zoia, and Valentin. The spatial qualities and balanced volumes of the Ceaușescu Mansion are striking, as is its luxurious and comfortable interior. Bucharest enjoys the presence of 2 airports. However, there is 1 main airport, Henri Coanda – Otopeni (OTP) which handles most of the traffic. Many flights come here every day and due to the high passenger turnover, many airlines practice competitive pricing. #bucharest #romania
