I love the park and the castle, I had a wonderful time here!You can even have a picnic or just relax on the grass and enjoy the view!
The Mogosoaia domain is about 10km away from Bucharest - you can get here with a rental car, not sure if there are any busses. The trip is worth it. I'm a local and I still enjoy coming here in the summer - it's a bit cooler than the city, the domain has a lake and a chapel and woods. It's very nice and relaxing. There's even a barbecue spot, if you're into that kind of thing. Or you can just come for a picnic. In the summer there are usually about 2 or 3 brides on the premises, as it's a great place for photos.
Mogosoaia Palace is a Romania Baroque Royal Palace just outside Bucharest. The style is distinctive and different from other Palaces of the period in Europe. It is set in a gated park with an ancient church just outside the main door. The Palace is surrounded by lawns, woods and gardens filled with flowers. When I was there in May there must have been an acre of purple Iris. The Palace also overlooks a small lake. There are some family vaults in the woods.Inside there are many large rooms that are bright and airy and filled with a variety of items including 17th to 19th century furniture and a considerable number of old Romanian carpets. This Palace is not to be missed if you visit Bucharest.
great park. we were invited at a bday party there in august. very cool place to have a barbecue. probably the best children bday party i have ever been. the gardens are so beautiful and the the castle, speechless
Very beautiful castle very close to Bucharest. It is built in a special style called "Brancovenesc" which is a kind of mix between oriental and venetian elements. The land surrounding the castle is pretty large with a lot of old trees and a small lake, the perfect place to take a nice relaxing walk and enjoy the nature. Still in the summer there are too many people
Out of the trafic jams, noise and smog of Bucharest, at a few km, is located the Mogosoaia Palace. The few parking places were plenty enough, very few tourists being interested in it. Only a few Romanian families coming there for a picnic and a BBQ. I enjoyed the silence and the few people around. Sunny or shady places on a big area with a lake.
The Mogosoaia Palace park was recently "improved". Now it looks much better and it is the ideal place to have a quiet (and romantic) walk, to enjoy a picnic, to run or to practice some sports (including some water sports too). Cultural events from time to time during the weekends. But the best is it is not crowded yet! The Palace worth the visit, too.
Great place to relax, very close to Bucharest. Summer is definitly the best time to visit Mogosoaia, but spring is also nice. Try during the week, when the place is not that crowded
If you are passionate about architecture and history, Palatul Mogosoaia it is the perfect place to discover old Romanian architecture - Brancovenesc style.A lot of cultural events it happens in this place during the year.The palace has an unforgettable english garden, ideally to be admired curing sunset. You don't have to miss this place if you visit Bucharest and are interested in art, culture but also nature.
My husband and I went there on a not so shiny sunday afternoon .We loved the park all around the castle , the way the nature makes you imagine that life hasn' t changed at all in the last 300 years .A great place to visit with kids .
