The Varosliget - the city park and the largest green area in the city - was the main venue for Budapest's millennium celebrations in 1896 and is home to the zoo, the Luna amusement park and the Szechenyi Spa (also from this period). The castle Vajdahunyad, which was also built for the Millennium Exhibition and was initially in smaller proportions the main building styles occurring in Hungary side by side. The initially provisionally constructed buildings inspired the visitors in such a way that a little later a somewhat larger permanent building was built, which today houses the restaurant next to a restaurant of the Agricultural Museum. Northeast of the castle, the ensemble was added in 1903 by a monument in honor of the "Anonymus", a notorious historian from the 12./13. Century, which is said to have written the first Hungarian chronicle.

The City Park (Hungarian Városliget) is located in the XIV. District of the Hungarian capital Budapest. Created in 1817 by Lübeck landscape gardener Christian Heinrich Nebbien (1778-1841), the park is a popular recreational area. It covers an area of 1.2 km² and was once a marshy hilly landscape. The southwestern entrance to the park is Heroes' Square at the end of Andrássy út. In the northern part, the city forest is crossed by the promenade Kós Károly sétány, which has been cleared for traffic.
