The area around Budapest’s Heroes Square, the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, and Városliget (the City Park) is one of the city’s most fascinating, shaped by centuries of change. On this walking tour through the City Park, I’ll share the stories and secrets that most visitors miss and, if you take this tour, you won’t be one of them.

The tour starts at the famous Heroes’ Square, nestled between Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts and its Art Gallery (Kunshtalle). From there, you’ll stroll through the City Park and see the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden’s highly decorative Elephant House. I’ll show you where to get fantastic views of Vajdahunyad Castle, and share the story of City Park’s lake. The tour ends at Budapest’s most famous and largest spa, the Széchenyi Thermal Bath.
