Lumina Park Bucharest opens at the Botanical Garden on 16 October 2026, bringing an illuminated evening trail to the city until 17 January 2027. Its first Romanian edition, Around the World (Ocolul Pământului), takes visitors on a journey with light installations, music, and interactive displays inspired by different destinations.
For visitors looking for something to do in Bucharest after dark, the exhibition offers an outdoor walk through the garden, with time to stop, explore the displays and take photographs along the way.
Where: Dimitrie Brândză Botanical Garden, Șoseaua Cotroceni 32, Bucharest.
When: 16 October 2026–17 January 2027, Tuesday to Sunday. Opening hours vary during the season.
Admission: Paid entry, with individual and family tickets. Opening weekend tickets start at 30 RON for children and 35 RON for adults. Children aged 3 and under enter free.
Around the World at Lumina Park Bucharest
The theme takes visitors from Arctic landscapes to scenes inspired by China, Africa and the United States. Light installations mark the route, while music and interactive attractions accompany the journey between destinations.
The trail is about 1.5 kilometres long, and a visit takes around 90 minutes to two hours, depending on your pace. Allow time to explore, rather than arriving just before closing, especially if you are visiting with children or plan to take photographs.
Hot drinks are available inside the park, offering a chance to pause during the walk. As this outdoor attraction runs through autumn and winter, warm clothing and comfortable shoes are a sensible choice.
