After walking around the city centre of Bucharest, you might need a break. Lucky you, because Cismigiu gardens is right next door - it is a destination in itself.
With the curious mix of old and modern, elegant and brutal, one old and crucial element of Bucharest has survived changes that were so drastic elsewhere in the city: Cismigiu Gardens. Once swamps where a pump was installed to provide for drinking water (cismigiu translates freely as manager of public fountains), Cismigiu Gardens were inaugurated in the mid-19th century as the first city park, and has remained the largest park of central Bucharest ever since. The swamps were conquered, the park was to have a formal and a romantic part - and it still has. The western side has long, straight lanes, with neatly planted trees and flowers, statues, while the eastern part has curving paths, lakes, and is generally less strictly organized and more picturesque.
