City Park - Culture and Nature

City Park

As a relaxing park area with plenty of trees and a lake, this place is popular for the citizens of Budapest as well. Of course we shouldn't forget about the sights and museums what you can find here.
First of all there is the Millenary monument for the heroes of Hungary, was built in 1896, for the celebration of 1000 years after the settlement of Magyars in Hungary. Left of it there is the Museum of Fine Arts, on the right the Exhibition Hall, on the far-right there is the City Lake which has double functions: During the summer you can rent a boat to row in the lake, during the winter it is an open skating area.
Passing the bridge behing the statues you can get to the Castle of Vajdahunyad what holds the Agricultural Museum, but the building itself is worth to see as well. There is the Museum of Transport in the nearby.
On the other side of the road after the bridge there you can find the Széchenyi Thermal Spa, one of the most popular places in Budapest. Continue your way you can meet with the Budapest Zoo, the National Circus and the Amusement Park, which is not a Disneyland but you can have fun there.
The City Park itself is a quiet place usually, but such festivals like the Labour Day and some concerts create a lots of people there.
