Lake sights in Bucharest

  1. Dâmboviţa Lake

    Dâmboviţa Lake is a murky, mossy, concrete-bedded lake created from a dam built to control the Dâmboviţa River. Couples stroll down the windswept sidewalk facing a fairly edgy neighbourhood of towering housing blocks. Some dare to swim, others cross Şos Virtuţii, where there's a water park. To reach the lake walk 300m through the park to the elevated rim from the Crângaşi metro station.

    Cişmigiu Garden

    Escape the heat or honks at some of Bucharest's urban oases. They tend to be best during the week when fewer people are enjoying the outdoors. Cişmigiu Garden is central and oozing with laid-back peace; open-air cafés overlook the pond, and there are plenty of benches (and flirters - it's known locally as 'lovers' park').
