Európa Liget, Budapest, Guía del visitante y qué hacer cerca

Európa Liget (Europe Grove) is a small public green space in the first district of Budapest, in the Buda Castle area on the Buda side of the Danube. It is an easy stop on a walk around Castle Hill, where cobbled streets, old gates and city views lie within a few minutes of each other.

Tips for your visit

• Allow a short stop of 10 to 15 minutes if you are passing through, longer if you want to sit and rest between the sights of the Castle District.
• Morning or late afternoon is usually the calmest time on Castle Hill, with softer light for photos and fewer tour groups.
• It is an outdoor space in a public area, so you can normally walk in whenever you like. Check current conditions locally if you are planning around a specific visit.
• Wear comfortable shoes, as the streets around the castle are uneven and often steep.
