The breathing center of Budapest
City Park or (Városliget) may not be familiar at first, but when you know that this is the part of town where you can find the Széchenyi bath, Heroes’ Square or the spectacular skating rink, you’ll know what an important part the “Liget”, as its abbreviated, plays in Budapest’s circulation. It was one of the world’s first public parks and serves as a living core that gives locals a chance to feel close to nature even when they are in the heart of the city, not to mention the numerous fun outings that will satisfy all age groups. Once the sun comes out, Budapesters take to the park for a walk, to play with their dogs, soak up the sunshine, or just hang out with family and friends over a cold drink and a pretzel for the kids.
