Füvészkert. This landscape garden from the 18th century is one of the most romantic locations for a lovely picnic. It is the very first botanic garden in Hungary. There are various plants and flowers to admire, but the main attraction is the giant water-lily in front of the Victorian House. It is said that this plant can hold even a grown woman. All in all, district 8 has all its reasons to be proud of its beloved park.
The Garden of Philosophers (Filozófusok Kertje)
This is a beautiful garden that lies between Orom and Hegyalja Streets near Gellért Hill. The park got its name after its main sight, a sculpture of philosophers. Having a pleasant picnic here also makes it possible to admire the spectacular view to Buda, Pest, and the Danube.
