Close by is Parcul Carol, a much older and less well-kept park; it was landscaped and opened for the Romania In The World Fair of 1906. The area north of the park boasts some fine streets with centuries-old houses, some of which are today put to use as boutique hotels. Other notable venues in the area include the Arenele Romane, an outdoor auditorium popular for concerts in the summer, and the Heroes' Cemetery, where many of those killed in the 1989 revolution are buried. Gara Filaret, on Strada Miropolit Filaret - today a bus station - was Bucharest's first railway station when opened in 1869.
