Once you are wondering off on the alleys of Herastrau Park - because you have to do that, at least for my sake :), you must take the boat trip (not the cross trip, but the 40 minutes boat trip)...it's very refreshing and gives you an overview of the park Leave a Comment Directions: Metro(subway) "Aviatorilor"

Definitely, Herastrau Park is a must see in Bucharest :) It's not because I lived close to it, and been there hundreds of times (I wonder what is the exact number of times)..but it's one of Romania's nicest park, with it's big lake and multitude of alleys.
27 April 2003 - on beautiful day of spring, this is definitely the first true day of spring, every trees and flowers at last erupted, with a perfume which relaxes you and makes you close your eyes Leave a Comment

Parcul Herastrau (Herastrau Park) is a large park, located a few kilometres north of Bucharest city centre.
We reached the park by catching a taxi to Arcul de Triumf (a replica of Paris’ famous arch, but completely covered in scaffolding at the time of our visit in March 2008), which is located right next to one of the park’s main entrances.
We walked down a long tree-lined driveway to reach the main part of the park, and arrived at a large grassy area next to one of the park’s huge lakes.
We headed in the direction of the park’s main attraction (The Village Museum – see separate tip), and passed through an area of the park that was devoted to the history of the EU. A variety of monuments, including several large sculptured heads of famous people involved in the development of the EU, can be found amongst well tended lawns and flowerbeds.
After visiting the Village Museum, we walked around one of the large lakes – a walk that lasted between 1 and 2 hours and which was popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists. We passed small cafes, restaurants, fast food vendors and a children’s amusement park, complete with a big wheel and several roundabouts.
As for the lake itself, there wasn’t much happening on the water in the way of boats or watersports. There is perhaps more activity in the busier summer months.
A large park which contains the Village Museum, several large lakes and a children’s amusement park. Leave a Comment Address: Bulevardul AviatorilorDirections: Located a few kilometres north of the city centre, close to the Arcul de Triumf.

You can definitely say that spring and autumn is the best seasons to be visiting Bucharest. Summer is also great, but from year to year it can get a liitle hot (not unusual these days in this part of the world...you'll be thirsty also in Rome or Paris) :) Leave a Comment Address: Herastrau Park

Located in the northern part of Bucharest, Herastrau Park is the largest (110 ha) park of the capital.
I remember when I was a child I always used to hire one boat and take a cruise along the big lake inside the park. Here in fact you can enjoy a boat trip on the lake, a walk among the bloomy, flowery alleys or just sitting at a terrace and slowly sipping a cold local made beer.

Herastrau Park is the largest in Bucharest. It has a beautiful lake, nice quiet pathways and many trees. Since the XVIIIth century it was a place for promenade and relaxation. In was modeled in the current shape in 1936 and was named after the King Carol IInd
In the last years, on the north bank of the lake there are more and terraces, competing each other for popularity. Also in the north part it is beginning to form a high-class residential area, with expensive properties. Leave a Comment Directions: In the north of Bucharest, near the national television station, 400 meters from the Triumphal Arch.

This huge park is the green lung of Bucharest. It was laid out over 1920-1939 by landscape architects Pinard and Rebhuhn on 187 hectars.
The park is a big attraction because of its lake, sport facilities, statues, restaurants, carting traks and the Village museum.
Other parks in Bucharest that worth a vist includes the old Cismigiu Gardens in the city center, the Botanical Garden and Carol I Park. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro(subway) "Aviatorilor"

Situated in the northern part of Bucharest, Herastrau Park is the largest (110 ha) park of our capital.
Great architects (Pinard, Rebhun, Octav Dobrescu) have contributed to the landscape design. Leave a Comment

It's big, it's a break from the city.
It has a big lake too, with lots of boats.
In the Herastrau Park there is also the Village Museum, with old traditional houses from all over Romania. Leave a Comment Directions: North part of the city. By metro, get down at Aviatorilor Station.
