Városliget Park
Városliget Park is called one of the favorite places for walking for residents and guests of the Hungarian capital. It is located next to Heroes' Square. Once upon a time, this territory was the hunting grounds of King Matthias, which was a difficult swampy area.
History of Városliget Park
Under Leopold I, this territory was transferred to livestock pastures. In 1799, under Maria Theresa, the marshes were drained and trees were planted. A canal system was also laid. Now in Varosliget Park, whose area is 1 km2, about 7 thousand trees grow, including quite exotic and ancient ones. It is located in the Pest area. This place is considered a favorite among all local and visiting tourists. People say that this particular area is the cultural center of the Hungarian capital.
In the summer, people usually rent boats and go to the artificial lake. When it's cold outside, the lake skillfully turns into a skating rink, which attracts a lot of people.
Description of Városliget Park
The Botanical Garden and the Capital Zoo are open in the park. According to most of those who have visited the attraction, this is an amazing place. And one of the reasons proving this is that more than 10 thousand plants have been planted throughout the territory, and the zoo has houses for 4,000 animals. It must be said that all the local fauna is doing great. People tried to arrange everything in such a way that an artificially made house would be no different from natural conditions.
In addition, the Városliget Park houses the Museum of Fine Arts and many significant monuments. Comparing nature and everything that was created by human hands, it is impossible to say unequivocally what or who is better in his creation. Everything that nature has given us is transferred to eternity. Sometimes it happens that nature and man act together, harmoniously, and the result of such a union looks attractive. This applies to parks, squares, gardens. In one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest, there is an equally beautiful Városliget Park.
