The Cotroceni Palace spans over multiple wings, featuring Neoclassical and Baroque architectural elements with a grand marble staircase at its center point.
The construction of Cotroceni Palace began in 1893 under architect Paul Gottereau, replacing a monastery from 1679 established by Șerban Cantacuzino.
The National Museum section displays 20,000 artifacts including decorative arts, numismatics, and archaeological finds that represent Romanian heritage through centuries.
Visitors must book guided tours in advance to explore the museum section, which operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
