Places to relax

Food, drinks and fun
Not only can you stroll in a nice green place, surrounded by coffees and restaurants, trees, birds and beautiful people, but also you can visit the Palas Mall for a shopping spree. Whichever suits you best, I prefer doing a little bit of everything.

For genre lovers, people are dressed up and simulate a gun fight, hiding and running. It's a really good workout (a lot of cardio involved) and it helps make new friends or bond with the already existing ones.

Sightseeing

Natural landmarks which are priceless to the city
A nice view over the city. Feel like you are on top of the world. Although it's a 30-minutes trip by car from the city center, this place has some stunning views over the city which can leave you breathless.

The stunning views over the city and the ancient caverns which run below the hill, make it a very interesting place to visit. People usually come here to barbecue, admire the city or both. This is a nice place for a picnic as the hill is always green and cool.

A stroll in the Copou Park is something you will always remember. It's a great place for kids and adults alike, being completed by restaurants, terraces and ice cream boutiques, which can be found right in the middle of nature. The diversity of plants in this park is completed by historic monuments and sculptures which may help one's imagination reach higher peaks.

On another hill of Iasi, lies the Botanical Garden, 200 years of age and also the oldest botanical gardens in Romania, hosting more than 85 species of plants. Besides the plants and scenery, I also find peace and quiet, which are sometimes much needed.

These guys know a lot about cooking the fish. They have the best fish stew (not better than my mom's, but still very good) and they serve mainly fish dishes. I love the Mediterranean plate they serve and would recommend it to my guests, but all the other dishes they serve are absolutely lovely.

Right next to the historical poplars that inspired Mihai Eminescu, the Romanian poet, Hanul Dacilor offers the best traditional dishes in Iasi. The decor inside is simple and the waiters are very polite and welcoming. I always eat there or order food, so I definitely recommend this place.
