Cismigiu Gardens

Cismigiu Gardens is the oldest public garden in Bucharest. It is situated in the center of the city, has a surface of about 16 ha and is adjacent to two main streets: Queen Elisabeth Boulevard and Schitu Magureanu Boulevard. In the south-eastern part of the garden lies the National College Gheorghe Lazar. It is designed in the style of English gardens and has many entries: two from Queen Elisabeth Boulevard, two from Schitu Magureanu boulevard and one from Stirbei Voda street. The name comes from Turkish: a cismea is a fountain and a Cismigiu one person is responsible for building and maintaining the fountain.
The Cismigiu Park was created at the end of the 18th Century. The initial work began in 1798, which today houses the oldest and most famous park in Bucharest. It started with the construction of two fountains, the so-called "Cismele".
In 1837 the neighboring marshes were drained to the Park area, the work continued for a decade. The Viennese landscape architect Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Meyer was entrusted with the creation of an expanded park. On 22 March 1860, the park was opened to visitors.
In 1910, the park gets its final appearance by the landscape architect Frederick Partridge, who was the Bucharest city park director. The park was given a more "Romanian" character. He replaced the avenues with the geometric forms, and built a great carpet of flowers after the traditional pattern of the Romanian carpets, abolished the "Romanian Rondeau" with the marble busts of six Romanian writers, a playground, a small zoo, boat rentals and a restaurant.
Cismigiu now has a French garden, the area of the writers, the Roman territory, a rose garden and two lakes. In winter, the lakes are used to like to skate with music.
Local accommodation is possible in nearby hotels like Central Hotel, Venetia Hotel or Opera Hotel with starting prices from 80 Euros.
