There are very few gardens in Bucharest and not as big, green, beautiful as those in London, but this particular one, Cismigiu Garden is the oldest Garden in Bucharest. Along time it brought many beautiful memories in many hearts. Grandfathers from today are telling the stories how they met their wifes for the first time in Cismigiu Gardens. It has always been a romantic place, calm and quiet, a good oases to run to, in the middle of a hectic Bucharest. Cismigiu is located close to Universitatii Square, across the City Hall building. It is Bucharest's oldest park and a great place to stroll and enjoy the peace that one can feel finding such a place in the middle of the city. Among the lawns and trees and the winding paths you'll find a lake with rowboat rentals, a beer garden, a playground for children, a chess area where old people play tournaments and plenty of park benches for relaxing and people watching. Sometimes there are Sunday concerts at the gazebo. Cismigiu was first designed and laid out in 1830 by the German landscape architect Carl Meyer, on the commision of Prince Gheorghe Bibescu, but it wasn't completed until 1860. More than 30,000 trees and plants were brought in from the Romanian mountains to be planted on the 17 hectares park.
