Kiseleff Park lines both sides of Șoseaua Kiseleff, the avenue laid out in the 1830s from Piața Victoriei towards the north, and it was shaped by Wilhelm Mayer, the gardener who also designed Cișmigiu. It is small, shady and calm, with a pond and fountain, a gazebo, and busts of writers among the old trees, and it makes the loveliest approach on foot to the Arch of Triumph and King Michael I Park. Our advice: walk it north from Piața Victoriei, stopping at the Museum of the Romanian Peasant on the way.
