Lacul Tei

Directions

Part of Bucharest Lakes

Lake Tei is a man-made lake of about 80 ha on the Colentina in Bucharest, with Floreasca upstream and Plumbuita downstream. Tei Park lies on its south-eastern shore, in Sector 2.

History

The land by the lake was once a clay pit for a brick factory. Work on the park began in 1935, was halted by the war in 1939, and resumed in 1948, and it opened in 1950 as the “Garden of the Linden Trees”. A small train ran about 1.5 km along the lake from 1951 to 1970. The park was renewed after 2002.

Tips

The nearest metro is Obor, and buses and trams serve the area, with entry to the park free. Two main alleys divide it into sections for quiet walks, playgrounds and amusement rides, some of them with their own tickets, on a loop of about 1.6 km. Boating here has not been regular, so do not count on hiring a boat.
