Băneasa (Romanian pronunciation: [bəˈne̯asa] (listen)) is a borough (Romanian: cartier) in the north side of Bucharest, in Sector 1, near the Băneasa Lake (0.45 km2 (0.17 sq mi)). Like all north-side districts of Bucharest, it is relatively sparsely populated, with large areas of parkland. Bordering on Băneasa Forest, Băneasa has the Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, used mainly by low-cost carriers, and is home to Zoo Băneasa, the Băneasa railway station, and the Băneasa Shopping City. In the 2000s, the area has become increasingly upmarket, due to the construction of various luxury apartment developments in and around it (as are those in the Pipera-Tunari area). It is also home to many villas constructed before the 1930s that were refurbished in the 1990s and 2000s. Băneasa is linked by RATB bus lines to the Bucharest city center. There is currently a proposal to construct an extension of the Bucharest Metro to serve this district and its increasing population.

Zoo Băneasa is a zoo in Bucharest, Romania, located in a northern district of the city, called Băneasa. The park was founded in 1955 as a service of the Municipal Household Section of the People's Council of the Capital.

Between 1955 and 1959 there was a progressive concentration of animals in the Băneasa Zoological Corner, where on 1 May 1959 the first visiting season was opened. In 1962, the title of the institution became the Bucharest Zoo and in the same year it was included in the International Yearbook of Zoological Gardens (International Zoo Yearbook, edited by the Society of Zoology from London). The Zoo, with a total area of 5.85 ha (14.5 acres), is a public facility that maintains and exposes live, wild, indigenous, and exotic collections of animals to achieve two main goals: preservation of fauna (with priority to endangered species); and training, education, and recreation of the visitor audience.

It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church was initially a chapel for the nearby houses of the boyar Văcărescu family. Its ktetorissa was Ecaterina, the widow of high ban Ștefan Văcărescu. Begun in 1768, it was completed in 1792, as attested by the pisanie above the door. Only the vault painting is original. In 1845, when heiress Maria Văcărescu married Prince Gheorghe Bibescu, the estate passed to the ruler, who soon carried out repairs on the church, consolidating the exterior walls.Following the 1864 land reform, it became a parish church. Further repairs took place in 1888, 1932-1934 and after the 1940 earthquake, when the bell tower was restored. Meanwhile, in the 1930s, as a highway was being built below, the hillock on which the church sits was reinforced with a protecting wall and stone staircase. Work carried out during the latter part of the 20th century saw the church being re-sanctified twice, in 1971 and 2002.The cross-shaped church is 18 meters long by 5.8 to 7.5 meters wide, with a slightly enlarged narthex, and polygonal apses just in relief. The portico has three frontal three-lobed arches and one on each side, resting on four columns. The current octagonal bell tower, above the narthex, dates to the 1940 restoration. The nave has a small vaulted dome, and the altar apse is quite long. The facade is divided into two sections by a belt course; the upper one features medallions painted in circular niches, while the lower has simple frames akin to those on the portico. The roof is made of tiles.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
