Budapest City Park getting closed for drivers
Change language:
Kós Károly Promenade — which runs through Városliget (Budapest City Park) — will be closed to vehicles on weekends until September, except the one around 20th August. The purpose of this action is to make the public park more quiet with cleaner air, and to make visiting Városliget a more pleasant experience, according to Travelo.hu.
It is not likely that this limitation will cause any serious disruptions. Representatives of Budapest Közút Inc. claim that the traffic of Andrássy Street and the inner city might decrease during these weekends.
Parking will be still allowed in this area, and only destination traffic may enter Állatkerti Avenue. Kós Károly Promenade will be closed at the entrance of the bridge over Városligeti Lake, so the Millenium Monument will be still accessible by car. Állatkerti Avenue will be approachable from Heroes’ Square.
