Városliget Park and Vajdahunyad Castle

I can't believe that this castle is was built just for an expo and now houses an agricultural museum. The weather was lovely and we had a nice stroll around the park after our time at the baths.

I could get used to a city park like this that is easily accessible!

Stretching out behind Heroes’ Square, Városliget is Budapest’s version of Central Park—an inviting sprawl of trees, paths, and ponds that locals love year-round. It’s home to Széchenyi Bath, a boating lake that becomes an ice rink in winter, and plenty of space for wandering or relaxing. Nestled in the park like a fairy tale set piece, Vajdahunyad Castle is a whimsical mash-up of architectural styles—from Gothic to Baroque—all stitched together for Hungary’s 1896 Millennium Expo. Though it looks ancient, it’s really a romantic tribute to Hungary’s historical architecture. Step inside the quiet courtyard or visit the Agricultural Museum for a quirky, under-the-radar experience.Read more
