Parks in Bucharest that are worth a visit

Most of the tourists know little about Bucharest, often associated with the Communist era architecture and gray atmosphere. But actually one of the most distinctive features of the Romanian capital city, is the extensive presence of green areas, with plenty of pleasant and well maintained parks, that would appeal even to more renowned European Capitals. The parks are well distributed all over the city, so that most of the population can get their breath of fresh air and have a green escape from their daily routine.

Of course we advise tourists to take advantage of this opportunity. Not only is this a great way to take a break or to enjoy an outdoor lunch, but many of the parks are touristic attractions themselves and truly deserve a leisurely visit.
You will discover a new historical side of Bucharest and be able to experience life as locals do. The most popular of the parks in Bucharest is probably Cismigiu Park, considered to be the most historical and beautiful one. A secret tip for our readers is to visit the least known of them all, the recently restored and modern Drumul Taberei Park.
