PARKS AND GARDENS 

 

 

Cismigiu Gardens,

Bucharest Zoo,

Bucharest Botanical Gardens

 

 

 Cismigiu Gardens are the oldest and most beautiful park in Bucharest (opened to the public in 1816). Situated in the centre of the city, opposite the City Hall and next to Gheorghe Lazar High School this park has lots of trees, plants, birds and a large lake.
Red tulips and roses surround fine statues of famous writers and men of science. The white of the statues, the red of the flowers and the green of the grass make a beautiful sight which you can admire while sitting on benches under the big old trees.
 

 

In Cismigiu Gardens you can also have lots of fun. For little children there are several playgrounds. There is also a kiosk where on Sundays or on different holidays a brass-band plays fine music, so while parents are listening to music, their children can play nearby.
 

 

 

You can also go boating on a large lake which is in the middle of the park.
We strongly advise you to come and visit Cismigiu Gardens.

You will have a great time here!
