About Văcărești Nature Park
Europe's largest urban nature reserve — a 183-hectare wildlife sanctuary inside Bucharest itself, created when Ceaușescu's unfinished artificial lake silted up and became a wetland. Over 180 bird species, foxes, turtles, and snakes, right in the middle of the capital. Free to visit; extraordinary biodiversity.
