Herăstrau Park
The capital of the country is not only a city that impresses with architecture and history but also one in which you will be able to enjoy outdoor walks in the most beautiful parks. Of these, the most popular park is Herastrau, built on the lake by the same name, in 1936. It is not only the largest park in the Capital city of Romania but also the largest park located inside a city in Europe.
You can spend a whole day in Herastrau Park, surrounded by nature and you will not get bored. You will be able to rent a boat and sail away on the lake or a hydro-bicycle to glide on the waters, but also you can pay a visit to the Herastrau Aquarium. In addition, you will be impressed by the unique way in which the clear water of Lake Herastrau reflects the Press House and the Sky Tower at sunset, two of the tallest buildings in its vicinity. You will also be able to walk through the Japanese Garden, which houses some of the most beautiful specimens in the park, such as cherry blossoms and Japanese acacia with weeping branches.
