Margaret (Margit) island is our Central Park in every sense, just instead of skyscrapers there is the Danube and the Parliament and Castle Hill around it. You can reach it easily by foot or the tram 4/6. Perfect for a jog, walking and exploring and after dark, do not miss the magical fountain with light and music show.

The Fiúmei Street Cemetery,  the final resting place of famous Hungarians, is a true hidden gem in Budapest. It is considered as one of the most complete and beautiful National Pantheons in Europe and it is like an outdoor exhibition of sculpture, history and art – all this amongst 150-year-old trees.
