What to expect

Herastrau Park, also known as King Michael I Park, is a large park located in the northern part of Bucharest, Romania, surrounding Lake Herăstrău. The park features a variety of leisure activities, including well-maintained paths for jogging and cycling, an open-air theater, and numerous terraces. Key attractions include the Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum, an open-air ethnographic exhibit showcasing traditional Romanian village life, and the park's own Japanese Garden, offering a touch of Eastern tranquility. The park is also home to a lake where visitors can rent boats or hydro-bicycles, and an aquarium.
