Liget Budapest celebrated at International Travel Awards

Liget Budapest

Liget Budapest is one of Europe’s most significant urban cultural and recreational developments, located in the heart of the Hungarian capital.

The project aims to revitalize Budapest’s historic City Park (Városliget) while preserving its natural beauty and heritage. The development includes the construction of several new museums, exhibition spaces, and public attractions, enhancing the city’s cultural landscape. Notable venues such as the House of Hungarian Music, the New National Gallery, and the Museum of Ethnography are part of the project. In addition to its cultural significance, Liget Budapest offers expansive green spaces, walking paths, and recreational areas for residents and tourists alike.

The project is designed to promote sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly features like green roofs and energy-efficient systems. It also aims to increase tourism by making Budapest an international art, culture, and leisure hub. The development has garnered international recognition for its architectural innovation and commitment to cultural preservation.

Liget Budapest has become a symbol of the city’s transformation into a modern European metropolis. Once fully completed, it is expected to be a leading destination for both locals and global visitors.

One of the project’s elements, the House of Music Hungary, was also recognised as the “Most Attractive Tourism Destination in Europe,” Gyorgyevics said.

He added that with foreign visitor numbers on the rise at the House of Music Hungary, the Museum of Ethnography, and the BalloonFly hot air balloon attraction, Liget Budapest is now “on the international tourism map.”

He said the goal in the long term is to make the project a “must-see” attraction and a reason for longer stays in the capital.
