Parcul Dendrariu

The rose garden peaks in June — geometric beds tended by the Academy of Sciences since the 1950s. Beyond the roses, the park extends into forested paths with mature trees and an atmosphere of quiet that's genuinely rare this close to the centre. There's a small lake, benches positioned for reading, and neglected-grandeur energy that's actually quite nice. Come on a weekday morning. Bring something to read.
