 Lungs of the city |
Hosok tere District XIV Budapest 1146 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 (Tourist Information) |
The park is dominated by the Vajdahunyad Castle - originally built for the 1896 millennium celebrations - which represents every style of Hungarian architecture. In summer, there is a lake for boating, which in winter is turned into a huge and very popular skating rink. It also houses the Museum of Agriculture and a statue of George Washington. This was erected to thank America for taking in so many Hungarian immigrants in the early twentieth century. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Swimming pools and park |
Hollandi ut, 14 Budapest 1213 Hungary +36 1 277 6576 |
As if a massive park with playgrounds and open fields wasn't enough, two swimming pools, a thermal pool and a children's pool were added to this site in 1961. The location and excellent facilities make this place popular with families: Kids can be entertained here for hours. Maintained at a pleasant 38 degrees centigrade, the thermal pool is just the right temperature for lazing around in. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Communist-era statues |
Bathori utca, 22 Budapest 1054 Hungary +36 1 424 7500 http://www.szoborpark.hu |
After the fall of Communism in Hungary, most of the statues from this era were shipped to this park on the outskirts of the city. When you buy your ticket, be sure to also purchase the very well-researched and extremely informative guide-book. Without it the meaning and history of the statues will be lost to you. How to get here: get to Etele ter by bus number 7. Then take one of the frequent, out-of-town yellow Volan buses. The one you want is at platform number 2, direction Diosd. Review © 2007, Wcities |
