Discover

The Herăstrău Park is one of the favourites spots of the people in Bucharest to relax. Founded in  1936 by King Carol II on an area of 187 ha in the northern part of the capital, the park suffered some changes over time, always expanding. Some of the most interesting attractions in the park are the Summer Theater, located near other two major attractions: The National Village Museum and the Japanese Garden. In the park you can have a stroll along its many alleys, ride a bike, or have a boat ride on the lake. There are also many special places for kids and also cafes and restaurants where you can just relax and enjoy a good coffee.

Herăstrău Park is also a venue for many festivals and events, and in the summer an outdoor cinema is set up right in the park.
