Smells Like Spring Spirit

Springtime made its appearance a bit early this year. After a few months of rain, snow or very cold air, the temperature’s rising again and the city has never looked more inviting. Friday nights in a club, Saturdays at a café or a gallery and on Sunday fall in love. Fall in love all over again, walking hand in hand on an alley under the crisp blue sky, watch the leaves turn green and the flowers coming to life.

            

Cişmigiu Park (<– click to find out more) is probably one of the must-see destinations in Bucharest. Located Uptown, near the city’s historical centre, the park spreads on 17 hectares (42 acres) and has many rare species of trees, statues of our country’s greatest icons and a lake, turned into an ice rink during winter.

              

 This wonderful and peaceful garden holds an interest for all nature lovers and those who long for a mouthful of air ever since 1860.
