Sooner or later, everyone comes to the Cismigiu Park. Someone wants to hide here from the Bucharest heat, which lasts from April to October, someone saw multi-tiered flower beds through an elegant fence, and someone brings children to witness the natural wonder, a white peacock. "Cismigiu" in Turkish means something like "a fountain for everyone". Indeed, the construction of the park in the late 18th century on the site of a suburban swamp with a plague of mosquitoes began with the appearance of a fountain.

The Cismigiu Park appeared thanks to Russian general Kiselyov, who temporarily served as the head of the Russian administration of Romania (after the Russo-Turkish War).

The Cismigiu Park is lovely, as is an elderly gentleman, with something like disarray and shabbiness in the suit, but who is still gracious, polite, and charming. Just as you feel relaxed and comfortable in dealing with a person with pleasant manners, so the garden doesn't make you feel like "you have to suck in your stomach," as the Romanians say. Anyway, you won't be able to do that. The park has a restaurant by the lake, as well as many street food stalls with papanasi (cornmeal donuts with sweet curd filling). After lunch, it is good for your health to take a walk. Cismigiu provides you with its own world of shady alleys, secret paths, bridges, benches in secluded corners (it is not for nothing that it is also called "the park of lovers"). Calm contemplation of flowers, trees, park sculptures, birds (be sure to find a bird's corner and see a white peacock!) builds a tired traveler's strength backs, providing them with pep and go.

If you come to Bucharest in winter – do not be sad. Come to Cismigiu to a huge 3000-meter ice rink (with artificial ice, of course), after skating on which you can eat a donut. Or even two.
