Introduction

City Park is a vast, pleasant urban oasis in Budapest gathering many sights—a large park with Heroes' Square, a castle and thermal baths, blending green space with rich attractions; a great leisure spot. City Park (Varosliget, "city woods") on the Pest side is a large, historic public park, green and pleasant, and among Budapest's most attraction-dense areas. Its gateway is the grand Heroes' Square—at its center the towering Millennium Monument (marking 1,000 years of Hungary), with colonnades bearing statues of the Magyar tribal chiefs and Hungarian heroes—solemn and grand. Through the square is the green City Park. Inside: green space, lakes (skating in winter, boating in summer), tree-lined paths, plus many sights—the grand Szechenyi Thermal Bath; and most uniquely, the fairytale Vajdahunyad Castle (built for a fair, blending styles of Hungarian periods, reflected romantically in the lake); also a zoo and museums. Strolling this open park, seeing Heroes' Square, the fairytale castle and green space—pleasant and rich.
