    Great walk in the park after Hard Rock Cafe
    Great for a morning or afternoon stroll. There’s lots of monuments and statues dotted about. Plenty of seating to stop and take a break. We came for a walk through here after our meal at the Hark Rock cafe which is located just inside the park right near the lake. The park is away from the main downtown area of Bucharest but is easily accessible by bus or metro.

    Nice park
    We went here on a number of occasions. The first day we spent the afternoon there. Some nice statues dotted all around the park. We grabbed lunch at one of the food kiosks . Nice big sandwich. We also grabbed a beer in one of the lakeside bars. Nice view and cold beer. Recommended.

    Beautiful park!
    This was a very nice visit! We came with our grandparents, stopped for ice cream and got a coffee. This plants were well trimmed and the park was bright and green. There are some bad smells by the pond to avoid but otherwise would highly recommend!

    Unexpectedly delightful historic building museum.
    Very hot Sunday and a perfect day. Plenty of places to have a snack and drinks. Bikes for hire. Walking in the shade. Places to sit and relax. Little train rides and ferry ride. Large museum of old houses, churches and windmills a truly unexpected delight. Lovely people. Made our Bucharest adventure. Easy access to metro station. Perfect place for a sunset. Romantic.

I have now visited this park multiple times and everytime I visit Bucharest I want to go back. This park is massive and you are basically guaranteed to see something new every visit. From a skate park to small stands selling chestnuts and grilled corn to the busts and statues throughout the park, this is a delightful place to visit and enjoy a sunny afternoon.

Herastrau Park (currently King Michael I Park), located in the northern part of the city, is the largest park in Bucharest and includes Herastrau lake. Small boat rides are available for a tour of the lake (which includes little "islands" and a "peninsula") and the National Village Museum is a nice cultural and touristic landmark located on the western side of the park. The park is extremely well-suited for outdoor activities and has a lot of recreation spots, bars, and pubs. Highly recommended to any tourist visiting Bucharest.

The biggest park in Bucharest and one of the most beautiful.For some time now, the authorities have changed his name to King Mihai Park. But people still know him as Herastrau. It's very big, you need a few hours to make a complete tour of the park. There are a lot of alleys shaded by very old trees, from place to place there are terraces hidden by the green thicket, where you can stop for a drink. There are playgrounds for children, a large lake, where you can go by little ships or by boat, some restaurants (expensive, most of them). There's even a small japanese garden, unfortunately not very well maintained.

Got off the HopOn HopOff bus and walked down to the lake then strolled around this beautiful park heading towards the Arc de Triomph, a smaller version of Paris's. Just near the Arc there is an avenue and statue dedicated to Michael Jackson. The park is large, peaceful and uncrowded-Lovely place.

The biggest park in Bucharest. Also one of the most beautiful. A lot of old trees, shady alleys, a big lake where you can sail on little boats, children playgrounds. Very nice and peaceful.

If you just want to walk through around the lake to relax or if you want to have the lunch or the dinner at restaurants nearby.. Is the perfect place to have few hours to enjoy the nature or to enjoy the restaurants around, like argentine or casa di david or brasserie. Always great food and great atmosphere.

The best of all was to find the same amazing views as I remembered from my childhood. Since then, the park is some forty years older, however, as beautiful as ever. A walk around the lake can take about two hours, especially if one adds a few stops for coffee, lunch, or a drink at one of the pleasant restaurants along the way.
Herastrau remains a wonderful open space to enjoy the day with kids, with someone dear, or simply by yourself, away from the bustling city.

Herastrau Park is a beautiful oasis within the city. Lots of varied spaces - dog parks, rose gardens, theatre structures, playgrounds, walking/biking/running trails. Also a selection of restaurants with views over the lake. Would highly recommend a visit. If you are running or walking around the lake at night, there are certain parts of the trail that are not well lit. A flashlight or headlamp would be useful as the path can be a bit uneven in spots.

premium things will have been included in the finishes and others, but the location leaves much to be desired - the smell of the Rudeni landfill, Romexpo at 2 steps = concerts, exhibitions, crowding and traffic Constanta bridge two steps away (in terms of pollution and car traffic) in the rest of the area? you barely have sidewalks, let alone parking spaces. a modern, typical crowd, for those who came to Bucharest a month ago and reached some loans for 50 years.
theoretically the respective area is the sanitary protection area, up to Flora and Casa Presei - but those who move will not care - it has nothing if you make your needs from where you drink water.

Green park suitable for endless walks, picnics, boating, etc. It is not in the center of the city but anyone who likes walking could get there through beautiful neighborhoods of the city... of course there is also a city bus, with a very cheap ticket.. less than 50 cents euro, which can make nobody inside the bus using a card. Very helpful for those who do not have currency with them. The Arc de Triomphe and the simulation of the Romanian village are also worth visiting in the area of the park. This area is really worth a visit.
