I am not sure why this park is listed under shopping, it is a lovely park with a fairytale castle. It is also home to the agriculture museum and transportation museum. There is a beer garden, restaurant and many benches to relax and enjoy the view. You will find it just past Hero's Square across the bridge. When we visited,... More

The city park is just what the name says: the main CITY PARK. A beautiful, pleasant park, especially since it is literally surrounded by more than half-a-dozen other top Budapest attractions

City park is vast, you could spend an hour walking around seeing the sights from ducks, bridges, the V castle, or take a rowing boat, there's also a Zoo nearby!

It worths to walk through the park and enjoy the view of the lake in front of the castle. You feel like you are a part of a fairytale. Amazing place definately!

We took the open top (hop on, hop off) bus to City Park and spent the morning in the Thermal Baths - we are so glad we did! Whatever the weather you will luxuriate in the warmth of the pools, enjoy the biggest Jacuzzis anywhere and have a relaxing massage. It costs 4100 forints each and we think it was... More

Maybe it was the over 35 degree summer temperatures, but how I loved this place while staying in the beautiful Budapest visiting my bf family. City Park didn't scream out 'look at me' in the tourist books, nor once you entered the property. For me, it was a wonderful sense of calm and simple beauty. ... uhh.. perhaps I may... More

An ideal destination to spend an afternoon with memorials, museums, architecture,skating , ponds and restaurants. Access is easy (M1 quaint) and views and parkland refreshing. Hungarian Agricultural Museum has English information for the extensive and interesting range of exhibits but the Transport Museum is a must for Families. NB for photos you buy a pass; we didn't know and were... More

This is the city park of Budapest. Can be easily reached by subway, and on its grounds there are several other main attractions like the Vaijdhunyad Castle, Sezncheny Thermal Baths, the Great Circus, the Museum of Agriculture, an icing slope and even an old-fashioned theme park. When you want to do a relaxed park walk, you will spend some nice... More

In the morning we went ice skating. It was amazing. such a big rink. Hired the boots which was no problem. Everywhere very organised. People of all ages were skating. There were school groups of little children which was delightful. They were all pretty good at it as well. After a lunch of a hot chocolate with cream and chocolate... More
