Lonely Planet review for Carol I Park

About 1km southwest from Piaţa Unirii, Carol I Park may have been inaugurated in 1906, but the eternal flame burning for an unknown soldier, and 20m black-granite mausoleum - and a heavy military presence who ask you not to photograph it - make it feel more of the communist era. The mausoleum, topped with five arches made of red Swedish granite, was put up in memory of the 'Heroes for the Struggle for the People's and the Homeland's Liberty for Socialism'. That's pretty communist. Enter the park from the north at Piaţa Libertăţii or from the south along Calea Şerban Vodă.
