Garden of Lights in the Botanical Garden ,,Dimitrie Brândză,, in Bucharest(Romania)
Hello Hivians
The penultimate day of 2023 caught me in Bucharest, the day before I arrived back from my holiday in the UAE so I had a day where I could do anything, the last day of the year was scheduled to be spent with our friends in Ploiesti.
Bucharest the cosmopolitan and vibrant capital of Romania, my god there are so many things to do and explore here that I wasn't sure what to do, the first time I passed in front of the Romanian Parliament (the building is imposing, I made a post about it two years ago), I saw this architectural monument many times and I can say that every time I am impressed when I pass by it.
We visited some very nice cafes but being the end of the year I forgot to take pictures (I only have a few) so today we will go together to visit the ,,Dimitrie Brandza" Botanical Garden in Bucharest.
But not just any kind of botanical garden, but a concept of some Poles who came to Bucharest with a unique project.
So as not to create confusion the Botanical Garden is closed in winter, only the outdoor garden was accessible.
It's impressive how a team of Poles managed to combine natural elements (everything related to botanical garden vegetation) with hundreds of thousands of light bulbs and luminous figurines to create something unique, Alice in Wonderland.
Last year, at the beginning of November, the Garden of Lights project was born with the theme Alice in Wonderland.
The Botanical Garden is located at Șoseaua Cotroceni 32, Bucharest.
The price of an entrance ticket for an adult is 63lei/12,5euro, a rather expensive price but even so I gave it a chance.
Visiting hours are between 16-21 (weekends) and between 16-20 (other days).
From what I saw this place does not have its own parking so if you come here by car you have to look for a parking place on the nearby streets, just in case you will find parking there too.
But as it was the penultimate day of the year and many people from Bucharest were away to spend the end of the year in the Romanian resorts, I was lucky and just 300 meters away I found a parking place.
Not having planned in advance to visit the Botanical Garden, you will realize that I didn't have bought tickets online either, so when I got to the entrance I had a shock, there were so many people in line that I had the feeling that all of Bucharest was there.
Luckily for us, there were several ticket booths open where we could buy our tickets, we noticed a unique thing, after you paid for your tickets, the ticket booth sent them to you by sms (they sent you a QR code that you scanned at the entrance) without consuming paper and many other resources.
Right at the entrance we were told that if we scanned the QR code of the free Gardens of Lights app on our phone and answered all the questions at the end correctly we would receive a surprise gift (yes, we did that and at the end we received a very nice keychain).
Let's get lost among these bright figurines and along the colourful alleys
