Enter Delta Vacaresti Natural Park
We begin our journey into Vacaresti Delta: we learn about the history of this area, what the communists wanted to build here and how nature reconquered this abandoned patch of land and turned it into a unique urban wildlife biosphere.

Abandoned outdoor theater
One good thing our former communist dictator Ceausescu did was to build this outdoor theater which was later abandoned after the fall of communism. We will visit this place, admire the nice views and learn about the plans for its future!

Reviews from travellers
We had a wonderful and informative tour through Vacaresti Park with Carmen. She was an enthusiastic guide and clearly loves the area and appreciates the natural world as much as we do. We very much enjoyed looking at the plants and wildlife and hearing about the park's rich history. It was also lovely to visit this part of Bucharest that's off the beaten tourist path with a knowledgeable and friendly Romanian guide. Definitely recommended!
