    Beautiful garden, very well kept with a large verity of flowers and other plant life. There is a lovely stream running tgrough the garden that gives the garden a very calm aura. Around the garden there are a few monuments and statues, and at the entrance there was even a small well. There are small ponds throughout the garden as well. As for wildlife there wasn't much, but that is to be expected in an urban park. Overall it is beautiful place for a nice midday stroll.

    One of the most beautiful parks I have ever visited! Great for walking, relaxing, photoshooting and running! There are lakes, a lot of flowers, big trees, wooden sculptures, ducks, swans, telescopes so you can view other planets like Venus.

    It's a great park. Very clean and tidy. You can see duckings, swans, turtles and many flowers and plants. Made and maintained place. To see it, you need about 2hours. Parking is available around the park at no cost. A quiet, beautiful place, suitable for a walk with family, children or even alone. You can run, play or admire the flowers / plants.

    More like a very well taken care of park than a botanical garden, it lacks the curation of such a place although there are labels in places pointing to the type of species, yet this is not enough to be called a botanical garden. That being said it is a wonderful place for a stroll, plenty of good spots for pictures and it's free to access

    For me it's an oasis. The place where i recharge my battery, even not every day. A beautiful place, in every season. Here you will find various people, from youngsters to elders, including families with children.

    Extremely nice place to go for a walk in Craiova. A great alternative to the large park! However If you wish to go for a peaceful walk with minimal people 9am is ideal otherwise it is extremely busy most times Lots of ducks too!

    What a wonderful park for everybody to enjoy, the plants and flowers are all perfect!! The staff of this park should be very proud of the work they have done! There's plenty of places to sit and relax and tons of shade for a hot day, also plenty of space to exercise without any one getting in each other's way. All of the sculptures are very unique and very well done. Truly one of the best parks I've ever been too.

    Very nice place to relax and enjoy the view where you can find many species of plants. "The Botanical Garden is located in the southwestern part of Craiova, between the streets: Constantine Lecca, Obedeanu, Poporului, Renaşterii, N. Titulescu, Iancu Jianu, on an area of approximately 12.8 ha. Through its vast and diverse collections, the Botanical Garden holds living biological material for study and fundamental and applied research. Visitors are urged to reflect on the life of plants, on their scientific, economic and cultural importance, to improve the quality of life and to protect the environment"

It is completely restored, very well cared for, with many plants, beautiful alleys and special floral arrangements, which give it a special charm! In a word, it is a wonder at the disposal of the citizens of the municipality or of any tourist who wants a few moments of relaxation in nature, right in the center of Băniei!

😠 I was absolutely shocked and honestly horrified by the way these poor poor animal are kept. They are left in the baking hot sun with practically no shade. They mostly seemed very skinny and sickly. The whole experience was awful to say the least. I truly hope that these animals are eventually freed....
