The greenhouses in Drumul Taberei Park are of course in ... Drumul Taberei Park. Drumul Taberei Park is located in sector 6 in Bucharest, bordered by Drumul Taberei street, Brasov street, Topolovăț street and Târgu Neamț street. There are paid parking lots around the park. By public transportation the easiest way to get to the Parc Drumul Taberei station is by metro line 5. The greenhouses are the side of the park from the metro station.
From October to March, it is open from Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 3pm. Entry is every 20 minutes, and the last entry is 40 minutes before closing time. Weekday opening hours are 3 hours longer from April to September.
Access to the greenhouses is free of charge. Guided tours only. You visit 7 exhibition pavilions following a guided route.
In order to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity in the greenhouses, as well as to streamline consumption and maintenance costs, 224 geothermal boreholes were drilled. This modern and eco-friendly solution is unique in the Capital, and in Romania it is surpassed in terms of power only by the Măgurele Laser. They were opened to the public in 2019, after the landscaping of Drumul Taberei Park.
The 7 pavilions you can visit are Tropical 1, Mediterranean, Tropical 2, Cactus Desert, Succulent Desert, Palmarium and Equatorial.
The temperature is 22 - 24 degrees Celsius and the humidity 75 - 85 %. We will encounter banana tree, white bird, room fir, croton, rubber ficus, aglaonema, anthurium and others. I liked the anthurium best, which I knew from flower shops.
