Parque Rey Mihai I
Herastrau was laid out from 1930-36 on what had, until then, been mainly swampland around the lake. The Village Museum – which occupies a large part of Herastrau and is one of its most popular attractions in the city, was created at the same time.
The lake had been a popular promenade as early as the late 19th century, however, for the high class of Bucharest. Moreover, the residence of Romania’s royal family, the Elisabeta Palace, is found inside Herastrau.
In its early days the park carried the name of its patron, King Carol II. For a short time after the second world war the park was renamed “Parcul I.V. Stalin”. The name Herastrau has been in general use since the early 1960s.
It offers a multitude of choices of activities : you can rent a boat, rent a bike, visit the Japanese Garden,or have a burger at the Hard Rock Cafe.

The Palace of Parliament is the largest and heaviest administrative building on the planet used for civilian purposes, and also the second largest administrative building overall, after the Pentagon. Currently, this imposing building houses the Romanian Senate and the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, and it is also the headquarters of the Southeast European Cooperation Initiative.
Also known as the “People’s House”, it was Nicolae Ceausescu’s attempt to redesign Bucharest by constructing a series of impressive buildings meant to prove to the world how wealthy and powerful was the Socialist Republic of Romania. The constructions began in 1983 when Romania was under the communist reign and by the time of the Romanian Revolution in 1989 the building wasn’t yet finished. Today, the building has only 400 chambers and 2 large halls that can be used, out of its total of 1,100 rooms. After the Revolution, no one had the desire to complete this gigantic building. In fact, many Romanians demanded the destruction of the building which was seen as a symbol of Ceausescu’s megalomania and of the extravagant lives lead by the former communist elites.
