Über diesen Tip
Văcărești is a 183-hectare protected wetland inside the city, the first urban natural park in Romania, and walkers come for the birds rather than for lawns. More than 90 bird species have been recorded, with gulls and other water birds easy to spot. Go early in the morning, bring binoculars and water, and wear closed shoes. Check the park association website for current entrances and any guided walks before you set out.
