Top Parks in Budapest

Bring a blanket and some snacks if you can! There’s nothing like having a little picnic while people-watching in such a lovely park setting.

if you want some stunning photos, head to the vajdahunyad castle at golden hour—around 6 pm. the lighting is amazing for pictures, and it’s less busy by then.

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The park is more extensive than it looks, and you'll want to walk around without worrying about blisters.

Watch for the public events in the park; I accidentally found an outdoor concert. It was a fun surprise, and didn’t cost anything!

check out the local street art nearby. i stumbled upon some awesome murals just a short walk away from the square – definitely worth a look for some great photos!

If you're into coffee, pop into a nearby café instead of the big chains. I found a cozy little place with great brews and it was way more charming.

Check out the feeding times for the animals; it’s when they’re most active and fun to watch. I missed a couple top feedings and regretted it!

I recommend visiting on a weekday; it’s way less crowded. I went on a Saturday and felt like I couldn’t see anything!

Make sure to bring a packed lunch; the food options are pretty pricey for what you get. I wish I had my own snacks!

Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes! The park is larger than it seems and there’s a lot of walking involved. I learned that the hard way!

Check out the tram system for a quick ride there. Parking can be a hassle and it's easy to miss out on the fun if you spend time searching for a spot.

If you can, visit on a weekday instead of the weekend. It was much quieter when I went on Tuesday, and I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.

Grab some snacks from a nearby grocery store before heading in. I ended up spending too much at the overpriced kiosks inside, which wasn't worth it.
