City park is only a 15 minute walk away, but you can also take the metro or a trolleybus if you prefer. It is a huge park, it hosts our most popular baths called Széchényi, our permanent circus, the zoo, Heroes Square, The Museum of Fine Arts, and a pond where you can take a boat ride in the summer or ice skate in the winter. There is also some good food options :)
