Beautiful Budapest, part 4 - City Park

The best part of my visit to Budapest was the time I spent in City Park. There's a lot to see and do there, so let's take a look...

Heroes Square, populated by Hungary's kings. Front and center is Arpad, father of the Magyars.

Mattias Corvinus, Hungary's greatest king. Born in Transylvania, he is known as Matei Corvin to Romanians.

Here's a closer look at Mr. Arpad and the boys. Nice pillar as well, no?

One of the many art museums in Budapest, featuring an exhibit on the art world's most beloved female subject.

Outside Szechenyi Baths. I spent a few hours there, some in the outdoor thermal baths and some in the indoor medicinal baths and saunas. It's a fantastic place, the largest medicinal thermal bath complex in Europe. They even give you money back if you leave earlier than your alloted time!

The famous yellow facade of Szechenyi Baths.

Hungarian birds have it good.

I can never resist an opportunity to photograph a Trabant.

The Budapest Zoo, famous for its Art Nouveau buildings, including this one, the front gate.

Hungarian giraffes give free kisses.

The dome of the Elephant House, another fine example of Art Nouveau.

Inside, looking up into the dome.

Inside the Elephant House again. The entire building, including these windows, is in Art Nouveau style.

Well, that's it for the Budapest series. I hope that you enjoyed the photos. In fact, I'd like to hear from you! Post a comment and let me know what your favorite photo(s) is. I'd like to see this for all of the posts in the future. Stay tuned for Belgrade, Sarajevo & Mostar. You won't want to miss them...
