Outdoor sports to enjoy the wintery Budapest
Change language:
Unfortunately for the lovers of winter sports, Hungary scores pretty low on the list of Europe’s best ski resorts. Still, that doesn’t mean you don’t have a handful of options to choose from if you want to enjoy the bite of fresh air on your rosy cheeks while wrapped up in several layers of clothes like a marshmallow. Below Funzine gives you the best spots in Budapest to visit this winter!
City Park
One of the main attractions of wintertime Budapest is the huge ice rink found at the entrance of City Park, situated behind the impressive Skating Hall, a masterpiece of Hungarian neo-Baroque architecture. This classic rink adored by young and old alike welcomes sakte lovers since 1870, when Prince Rudolph opened the gates of Europe’s largest outdoor skating rink to the public. With Archangel Gabriel looking over from nearby Heroes’ Square, and the massive building of the Vajdahunyad Castle towering over skaters in the background, this one’s a lovely venue for a winter date, with plenty of choices for a warming drink afterwards. In case you don’t have an ice skate with you, you can rent a pair in the Skating Hall, while skating classes are also available.
