A spectacular attraction has been added to the City Park: thanks to the Liget Budapest Project, the hot-air balloon – which enjoyed great popularity even 120 years ago – has returned to the park, announced Benedek Gyorgyevics, the CEO of Városliget Zrt. The Balloon is anchored to the ground and works as a viewpoint near the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, on Mimóza Hill, surrounded by more than 10 thousand square metres of rehabilitated green space. After its opening on 1 May the balloon will rise into the air according to a timetable. Its basket accommodates 30 people, who can enjoy the stunning panorama of the Városliget and Budapest from a height of 150 meters. Attractions like our hot-air balloon viewpoint are popular sights in numerous cities all over the world. The Városliget Balloon, with its shape and colours evoking Pál Szinyei Merse’s iconic painting, has every chance to earn the right as Budapest’s latest emblem.
