Copou Park
The oldest public garden in Romania, home to Eminescu's famous linden tree where the national poet wrote. The park is free, shaded, and peaceful, with a botanical garden nearby that rounds out a full morning of green space.

3 things to see
Iasi is one of those Romanian university cities where most of the best days cost nothing. The churches, the historic parks, and the dense student quarter are all free to wander on foot, and Copou Park, the oldest park in the city and home to Eminescu’s centuries-old silver linden, charges nothing to enter. Romania already runs cheap by European standards, so even when you do pay, the neo-Gothic Palace of Culture and its four museums under one roof stay in a-few-euros territory rather than the steep ticket prices of Western capitals. As a base in Moldavian Romania it pairs naturally with a hop across the border to Chisinau or the long rail run down to Bucharest.
