Drumul Taberei Park was laid out in the 1960s as the green heart of the new Drumul Taberei district in the west of the city, and was renovated between 2013 and 2015. Its lake has a jetty for pedal boats and a footbridge anchored on a small peninsula; glasshouses of exotic plants opened in 2019; and the M5 metro now stops at the gate, at Parc Drumul Taberei station. In winter 2025 the West Side Christmas Market brought a skating rink here from 26 November to 27 December. Our advice: take line M5 straight to the park and combine the glasshouses with a lap of the lake.
