In Romanescu Park, one of the largest parks of Europe, ranked among the most beautiful city parks in Europe, there are hundreds of thousands of beautiful and colourful tulips and different other flowers. Designed by the French architect Édouard Redont at the beginning of the 20th century, Romanescu Park was awarded with the gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900. It occupies an area of about 100 hectares and is located in the southern part of Craiova. Ample reliefs, alleyways, springs, water mirrors, waterfalls, a charming castle, a suspended bridge, the hippodrome, velodrom, pier, zoo and terrarium are all enclosed in the frenzied abundance of vegetation. 

Inside the park, children and tourists can taste the goodies from Zoofetaria – a cake shop with pastries in form of animals, they can take a ride with an electric karting car or with the swan-hydrobikes on the lake. From April to September, the Romanescu Park is the perfect host for concerts, theater plays and festivals at the Summer Theater - the largest open-air showroom in Craiova, with a unique architecture and perfect acoustic. 

This year, until 1st of May, Romanescu Park is the home of a magical land - Easter Market. With fantastic unique painted cottages like in fairy tales, with a giant doll, almost five meters high, placed near Casa Bibescu in the park and dozens of figurines of impressive sizes - hats, watches, mushrooms and chessboards, just like in the well-known story, Alice in Wonderland.

Travellers coming to see the Craiova Easter Fair can find also traditional seasonal products, handmade products from local and regional producers, concerts, workshops and playgrounds for children.
