Top Parks in Hungary

Grab a lunch at one of the small cafes inside the park. They’re usually cheaper than tourist spots, and I found the local sandwiches to be delicious!

Don't miss the boating on the lake! It's super peaceful and affordable. Just make sure to check the weather beforehand so you don’t get stuck in a rain shower.

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.

If you're looking to save a bit of cash, consider bringing your own snacks or a picnic – there are plenty of nice spots to sit and enjoy the greenery. I did this and it made the experience much more relaxing

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.

Don’t skip the visitor centers! They have amazing local tips and hidden spots that you won’t find in guidebooks. I learned about a great lookout point from the staff that made my trip unforgettable.

bring some snacks and water! there are not many shops once you're deep into the park, and the last thing you want is to be hangry while enjoying the views

I suggest visiting in late spring or early fall for the best weather and fewer crowds. I went in summer, and it was packed – not as enjoyable as I hoped!

I suggest downloading the park’s map beforehand or grabbing one at the entrance, since some areas can be a lil tricky to navigate.

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!

I suggest bringing a picnic! The parks here are super scenic, and there's nothing like enjoying a meal surrounded by nature. Plus, it can save you some cash instead of eating at overpriced cafes.

If you're considering renting a bike do it! It's a fun way to explore the park and bike rentals are cheap. Make sure to check the hours though; I found some places closed earlier than expected

I suggest bringing a blanket and some food for a picnic. There's plenty of green space, and it’s a great way to enjoy the scenery while saving some money

Keep an eye on the weather! My visit was great but I heard others regretted not checking the forecast before heading out.

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.
