I am grouping together the Vajdahunyad Castle and Concert with the nearby Heroes Square, and the City Park amusement area. The Zoo and Szechenyi Baths are also in the same park. The little paddle boats in the lake are really cute and the park itself is stunning. There is no entrance fee to the park but the attractions have individual fees. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the venues. Two Tickets to the concert were $23. You could easily spend a day or several days here, depending on the number of attractions you are interested in. It’s a great place for a picnic but there are restaurants available as well, if you prefer. City Park is not on the normal tourist track, but it is centrally located. It is on the Pest side of the Danube and easily accessed from public transportation. Your stop will be called “Hosok Ter” which is Hungarian for “Heroes Square.” To enter the park, walk down the sidewalk behind the monuments and across the bridge. You will love this place. A definite Savvy Senior thumbs up.
