Completed in 1860, these gardens are famous for their collection of trees and plants from all over Romania as well as exotic imports from other countries sourced from various Botanic Gardens in Vienna. 17 acres in size, the gardens are hands-down the most beautiful green space in the city. During summer time it is a refuge from heat;  during winter time it's where the locals come to skate on ice. There's always an event or other going on at the park especially at the fanfare gazebo, which sees concerts during spring and summer, and hosts astronomical groups at night. Check out the Romanian Writer's Rotunda, the Sissi Steadnidi spring, The World War 1 Monument, and the ruins of a sixteenth-century monastery. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Bucharest itinerary 1 day.
