Liget Budapest Project

The project

The Liget Budapest Project is currently Europe's largest urban development project with a cultural content, thanks to which the country has been enriched by cultural and landscape architecture investments on a scale not seen since the Millennium, many of which have now become new landmarks in Hungary. Thanks to the improvements completed during the first 10 years of the project, the City Park is back to its former glory, becoming Budapest's number one family theme park, offering much more and better than before to all visitors, from the youngest to the oldest, from culture lovers to nature lovers.

Our first ten years!

Institutions

Thanks to the improvements completed in the first decade of Liget Budapest, Városliget is back to its former glory, becoming the capital's number one family theme park, offering much more and better than before to all visitors, from the youngest to the oldest, from culture lovers to nature lovers. In addition, new symbols of Budapest and Hungary have been created, the House of Music Hungary and the Museum of Ethnography have become sights of Hungary that can be seen all over the world. The Museum of Fine Arts has undergone the largest renovation in its history, while the renovation of the House of the Hungarian Millennium has resulted in an important architectural rescue, and the National Museum Restoration and Storage Centre has been built to support the museums of the City Park with a state-of-the-art background facility. With the opening of the Museum Underground Parking, the long-awaited car-free status of the park has finally been reached, and the New National Gallery, the key element of the project and the keystone of the whole project, is due to be completed by 2028.

Renewable park

The first ten years of the City Park's development brought a lot of new things to the Liget. Among other things, we have opened the City Park's Main Playground, the Sports Centre and its two-kilometre running track, the Youth Sports Fields and the incredibly popular dog theme parks. We have renovated the Sensory Garden and the former Small Botanical Garden, named after Mihály Mőcsényi, is shining in its former glory. From Heroes' Square to Dürer Row in Ajtósi, the park's most charming new avenue, the Promenade, has been built, and in the renewd parts of the park you'll be greeted by tidy surroundings. And so far in the park's renewal, we've already renewed more than a quarter of a million square metres of green space, cleared 72,000 square metres of paved surface, and planted more than five hundred deciduous trees and 130 pines, nearly 70,000 shrubs and more than 200,000 perennials.
