Bega Canal Promenade
Canalul Bega
The Bega Canal runs through the city, with green paths on both banks linking the cathedral, Roses Park and riverside bars; you can cycle or take a boat.
The Bega Canal was dug by Habsburg engineers in the 18th century and was once the city's route for commercial shipping. Today the stretch through the city has continuous walking and cycling paths on both banks, passing the Orthodox cathedral, Central Park, Roses Park and the Children's Park. In summer there are open-air bars and music events by the river, as well as a Vaporetto water bus and rowing boats. It is ideal for an evening stroll or a ride on a shared bicycle. Walking the promenade is free, and the water bus runs seasonally.
