Reviewed By piticutzi - Dublin, Ireland

Very well restored building that's worth a visit by itself. It showcases a great collection of Romanian paintings and some sculptures, among which Brancusi's Miss Pogany and The kiss stand out. Must visit it if in town and even worth a stop if nearby.

Craiova Botanical Garden

Reviewed By alpentrip - Dortmund, Germany

A very nice park in the center of town. Recently redecorated and restored the park is lovely. Lots of paths around the lakes and all under beautiful trees. Unfortunately the name is currently misleading because now it's just a park not a botanical garden.

Craiova Musical Fountain

Reviewed By Eli I - petach tiqwa

We visited Craiova and the Fountains at 7th June. We expected that the Fountain is working and in the evening they are luminated and moving according to music. Sorry to say but they are working during the day, no music and nothing else. I asked about at my hotel "Ramada Plaza" but they didn't know anything about.
