What to see
Cismigiu Garden
Cismigiu is the oldest public garden of the capital. The main entrance into the 17-hectare park is along Regina Elisabeth Boulevard, guarded by the imposing building that house the capital's City Hall. To the left is another boulevard, Schitu Magureanu. At the crossing of these two arteries one finds the National Gheorghe Lazar College, an ancient seat of culture. As one walks along Schitu Magureanu Boulevard, one reaches Magureanu Church, adjacent to the old secret entrance into the subterranean gardens. Cismigiu has yet another entrance along Stirbei Voda Boulevard, near Cretzulescu Palace, whose stone steps descend into the park.
