With 5,000 plant species in 17 hectares, the Botanical Gardens are maintained by the University of Bucharest.
You can enter for a small fee, and pay a little extra to go inside the greenhouses like the Sera Veche, which reopened 2011 after being closed for 35 years.
This structure was built at the start of the 1890s and inside is a small world of tropical and sub-tropical vegetation.
