Herăstrău Park, Public park in northern Bucharest, Romania.
The 187-hectare grounds contain a central lake spanning 80 hectares, with walking paths, gardens, and recreational facilities throughout the space.
The area transformed from marshland into a public park in 1936, later incorporating multiple monuments and the Village Museum within its boundaries.
The Village Museum within the park displays traditional Romanian rural buildings and artifacts, representing different regions of the country.
Visitors can access the park through two main entrances: one near Piata Charles de Gaulle and another at Soseaua Kisellef for drivers.
The Japanese Garden features cherry blossoms and weeping acacia trees, while the Island of Roses presents seasonal flower exhibitions.

Romania encompasses historic towns where medieval squares, Orthodox churches, and royal palaces are found. Bucharest, the capital, hosts the Parliament Palace and religious buildings like the 18th-century Stavropoleos Church. In Transylvania, Brașov preserves its 14th-century city walls, and Sibiu features its cobbled streets lined with old houses. Further north, Bukovina contains Orthodox monasteries adorned with Renaissance exterior frescoes. The Romanian territory also offers mountain landscapes and diverse natural sites. The Transfăgărășan road crosses the Carpathians at over 2000 meters altitude, linking two historic regions. Bran Castle and Peles Castle, perched in the mountains, showcase defensive and royal architecture. The saline lakes of Ocna Sibiului and thermal centers like Therme București highlight the country's natural resources. The Danube Delta completes this collection of destinations to explore.
