Gellért Hill – Philosophers’ Garden

Gellért Hill is another example of a scenic picnic spot. Gellért Hill is a beloved tourist attraction in Budapest, therefore, it can get busy. However, in the Philosophers’ Garden, you will find a little peace to chow down on tasty food and soak up some sun in the greenery. The specialty of the place is the group of 8 bronze and granite sculptures inaugurated in 2001, which is the work of Nándor Wagner, a sculptor who lived in Japan. The Garden of Philosophers depicts the harmonious coexistence of five intellectual trends. The group of artwork includes statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha, Lao-Tse, Abraham and Ehnanton arranged in a circle.

Tabán

Tabán is a picturesque historic spot, tucked away in Budapest’s 1st district. It was once an independent settlement, then it first became a part of Buda and finally Budapest. While wandering around the cobblestone streets, you may wonder what it was like living here back in the days when Tabán used to be a separate city. Picnic is a must in this lovely spot, you can surely find a quiet corner on the meadow to enjoy some delicious bites while marvelling at the view.

Vérmező

Although the name of this park translates to “field of blood”, this is a charming place which provides a perfect opportunity for a picnic. Located west from Buda Castle, Vérmező is a great spot for those who seek peace and quiet or want to do some sports outdoors. If you are looking for a spacious picnic spot in Buda, this is the right place for you.
