Numerous landmarks and parks are expecting their first visitors in nearly two months

Today, 15 May 2020, Romania has changed the state of emergency to a state of alert. In light of this development, numerous Romanian landmarks and parks are reopening for visitors.

All parks and public gardens in the Romanian capital Bucharest, as well as the zoo, are working once again, informed Mayor Gabriela Firea on her Facebook profile. All parks in Bucharest have been closed since 28 March, with the goal of preventing the spread of Covid-19. Just a few large parks in Bucharest’s District 2 were allowed to reopen earlier, on 9 May.

All parks in Bucharest have been closed for visitors for almost two months 

Starting 20 May, the National Museum of Art of Romania, the Museum of Art Collections, the K.H. Zambaccian Museum, and Theodor Pallady Museum in Bucharest will reopen to the public. The visiting schedule will be changed temporarily - from Wednesday to Sunday, between 11:00 and 17:00 o’clock.

Tourist landmarks across Romania also reopen for visitors

One of Romania's most famous cultural landmarks - Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, is reopening to the public starting today. The management of the museum is implementing all necessary measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus and to keep both the staff and the visitors safe.
