Bucharest Parks

Bucharest is surrounded by beautiful parks, which are popular with locals all year. Cismigiu Gardens, designed in the mid-nineteenth century, is the city's oldest park. Renting rowboats is one of the most popular summer activities, and the ice rink is popular in the winter. Carl Meyer, a German landscape architect, designed the park, which opened in 1860, bringing in 30,000 trees and plants from the Romanian mountains as well as greenery from Vienna's botanical gardens.

The Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum, an open-air theater, a sports club, and an old-fashioned amusement park are all located on 400 acres of King Michael I Park. Every summer, the public can rent boats from the lake. The elite of Bucharest lives in 19th- and 20th-century villas bordering the park.

Carol Park, designed by French landscape artist Eduard Redont and completed in 1906, is regarded as one of the most beautiful parks in the capital. Romania's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is located here, as is a Roman-era-styled open-air theater called Arenele Romane, which is popular for summer concerts.

The Bucharest Botanical Garden (Gradina Botanica din Bucuresti) was founded in 1860 and is also worth visiting. It covers 17 hectares and contains over 10,000 different plant species. Its numerous greenhouses, an informative museum, and plenty of flower beds are highlights.
