City Park, Budapest















The park is dominated by the Vajdahunyad Castle - originally built for the 1896 millennium celebrations - which represents every style of Hungarian architecture. In summer, there is a lake for boating, which in winter is turned into a huge and very popular skating rink. It also houses the Museum of Agriculture , the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden , the Szechenyi Baths and a statue of George Washington. This was erected to thank America for taking in so many Hungarian immigrants in the early twentieth century.
