DIMITRIE GHICA PARK
Parks and gardens
Read moreThe downtown park, created in 1881, has retained its former glory thanks to the wealthy mansions that surround it, such as the Palace and Caraiman hotels. It is home to centuries-old trees and a modest natural history museum. In the northern part, there's a World War I cemetery, where American airmen who fought in Romanian skies are buried. The tip is occupied by an elegant casino, built in 1912 on the initiative of King Carol I. Guided tours of the interior are available.
