Northwest of the Old Town, on the site of the old citadel walls, is a 10-hectare botanical garden that took shape in the mid-1980s.
Although there’s a modest tally of 218 different plant species, the park is worthwhile for its variety of gardens for herbs, tropical flora, Romanian species and Mediterranean, Asian and North American plants.
There’s also a gorgeous ornamental garden, while all these different areas are divided by paths and differences in elevation.
