About Margaret Island

A 2.5km island in the middle of the Danube — Budapest's green lung, car-free and beloved by joggers, cyclists, and swimmers. The thermal pools, rose gardens, open-air theatre, medieval ruins, and musical fountain make it the city's most diverse outdoor destination.

City Park (Városliget)

Budapest's largest public park — home to Széchenyi Thermal Bath, Vajdahunyad Castle, the city zoo, and Heroes' Square. The rowing lake becomes an ice-skating rink in winter. The park's ongoing renovation (the biggest in Europe) is transforming it into a world-class urban green space.
