Cornești Plateau & Zoo
Cornești Plateau is a popular summer retreat offering shady walks, playgrounds, the city’s largest skatepark, a narrow-gauge train, and a running track. Established in the 1960s on a small area, the Zoo now spreads over 42 hectares with more than 800 animals from 150 species. It is the largest zoo by area in the country and the only one to have elephants, giraffes and gibbons.
