City Park

City Park is Pest’s green lung, an open space measuring almost a square kilometre that hosted most of the events during Hungary’s 1000th anniversary celebrations in 1896. In general, museums lie to the south of XIV Kós Károly sétány, while activities of a less cerebral nature, including the zoo and the Széchenyi Baths, are to the north. The park is now home to two world-class pieces of architecture – the Ethnographical Museum and the House of Music.
