Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden, Budapest

I really enjoyed the Zoo. We decided to spontaneously have a stop there when passing through Budapest. There is so much too see and you can easily spend the whole day if you give yourself some time. Plenty different animals and indeed all are good to see. Different theme areas with some nice detailed decoration provide a nice flair. The flora and fauna is also very nice and looks really taken care of and also clean. There are plenty small snack and drink stations, which especially in the summer is very welcoming- prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit and I can absolutely recommend.

I really liked this place but also my feelings are controversial (animals being locked up). Anyway. You can pay here with card, you find free maps of the zoo before info cabin on your left after entrance. Be careful with the opening hours, most of the animals are sent back to rest at least half an hour before closing time! Oh, and it can be easily available from metro line 1 heroes square or, as Christmas is coming, by a long walk along street Andrassy. Have fun and respect the animals living there (it's not a circus, they don't have to entertain all the time, but be delighted if you can see them).
