Spring is officially here: we can feel it, we can smell it, we can see it. As the days get longer and the dresses get shorter, we can not wait to go outside and celebrate. Let’s see where to enjoy the first glances of sunshine.
Margaret Island
The heart of the city is this island. Perfect for going on a date, having picnic, running, doing yoga in the day and drinking in the night. And when the trees start covering the island with pink and white flowers, that’s when we really fall in love.
This park, located downtown is The Place To Chill. Sitting on the cold stairs or the benches placed on them, life feels like a Gossip Girl episode, only without the constant bustle. Plus, most of the trendy street food places are in the area, so your food won’t get cold while taking it there.
Károlyi Kert
Basically the same: in the very center of Budapest, there is Károlyi Kert, the favourite of both university students, seniors and little kids. This little getaway will instantly charge you, whether you are sitting by the tables of Csendes Társ, or on the benches surrounded by flowers.
Kopaszi Dam
Kopaszi Dam is a magnificent riverside setting, a place where Hungarians go, just like tourists as well. At the Buda side of Rákóczi Bridge there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, terraces and playhouses, that welcome everyone in every season. Except for dogs, sadly they are not allowed in the park.
Olimpic park
There will be no Olympic games organised in Budapest, but we still have the Olympic park! The multi-functional park takes place by the Danube, near the Parlament, and is always full of kids playing football, workers eating their lunch and sunbathing locals.
Philosophers’ Garden
This park on the Gellért Hill was only discovered by the public a few years ago, but has always been crowded ever since. Luckily, in this colder weather only a few climb to this green area, but the view of the sculptures and the city is just as breathtaking, as during summer.
