• Zoo on the southern edge: Băneasa Zoo borders the forest, so a walk can end with the animals
• Woodland paths for bikes, which the city's tourism site recommends for family rides
• Picnics under the trees, so pack food and water for a long outing

Băneasa Forest is an 800-hectare wood on the north edge of the city, close to Băneasa Airport. Its paths suit a family bike ride, a picnic or an hour's walk among the trees.

Băneasa Zoo sits on the forest's southern edge, so a morning in the woods can stretch into an afternoon with the animals.
