Valea Morilor Park
Parcul Valea Morilor
A city park built around a lake, with a long stone staircase waterfall and lakeside paths. It's the top choice for locals who walk and jog.
The park is laid out around an artificial lake. Descending from one side of the city center, you'll find a famous wide stone staircase and stepped water features. In summer, the lakeshore has sand beaches, boat rides and café seating, and the loop path around the lake is about 2.5 km. Entry is free, and in the good light of early morning or evening the lake reflects the city skyline, making it ideal for half a day of relaxation. It's about a 20-minute walk from Stefan cel Mare Park, and the surrounding area has university campuses and an open-air theater.
