    The best picnic spots in Budapest

    Spending leisure time in the parks has a long tradition in the capital: back in the 19th century, it was a popular activity for the citizens to go to the City Park and spend the whole day there. Many of Budapest's parks and green spaces offer excellent opportunities for relaxation to this day, and there are many places where you can find the perfect sunny-shady spot for a picnic. Besides the City Park, Margaret Island is one of the most iconic locations, with its vast green spaces and tranquillity providing the perfect picnic atmosphere. The Nagyrét, the Japanese garden and the green area around the music fountain are all good choices. The Garden of Philosophers at the top of Gellért Hill offers some of the best views in the city. The group of statues and the peacefulness make it a great spot for a relaxing picnic. Normafa is also great place for picnickers, providing a beautiful overlook of the city and the surrounding landscape.
