Budapest: The Botanical Gardens, A Child’s Paradise

As a tourist you are sure to take a trip out to Hero Square at the end of Andrassy avenue. But you may skip the botanical gardens just after the square which would be a mistake because they are a complete children’s paradise!

Two beautiful playgrounds suitable for all ages, trampolines that rent for 5 minutes at a time (warning: pricey but so worth it), stalls selling plastic and Hungarian wooden toys, and a cute little lake where strollers stop to feed the ducks. There are little snack stalls located all over the place and a charming cafe just across from the park.

Just a few minutes walk from the play area is the amazing Szechenyi baths, one of Budapest’s highlights as far as we were concerned!
