    Very nice, family oriented place. We jumped on the ferris wheel which gave us a nice view of the city.

    Lovely area to go hang out, shop, eat and just live. Not a whole ton to do in the park itself unless there’s a large event, but the side shops are still nice for tourists and the place is always popping with locals. People are nice, it’s safe, and it’s clean. Would recommend on a cool afternoon!

    Great Ferris wheel or by name the Budapest Eye. Four circle and it’s finished the tour. Otherwise it offer a great Panorama of Budapest. You can see all the sights of the city in a panoramic view from Danubian ships to Buda Castle and the temple towers of Pest. The main sightseeing is Szent István basilica, which is pro eminent and very beautiful with their magnificent towers. The Hungarian best parliament can f the world also can be seen. The price is around 10€/ person for adults and children lowered and costs 5€. The wheel is on Erzsébet square close to the Deák Ferenc square.

    Very very cool park in the heart of Budapest. Lots of stuff to do, desert shops, eateries, live music, and of course the ferris wheel. Great place to people watch and even skate board. Loved it!

    Such beautiful gardens with loads of photo opportunities.Would have loved to go on the Ferris wheel but the weather was really hot to be inside a plastic booth. One thing to note is that you cannot ride scooters in the park so we had to leave them at the entrance. Either way I recommend visiting here.

    Beautiful night life. The markets down here in the night are beautiful to walk through a lot more reasonable prices than the souvenir shops

    Elizabeth Square is centrally located and very near to the main bus station for catching the bus to the airport. You can shred your stick at the skate park, grab a beer at the bar, ride the Ferris wheel, play catch with your dog, visit Michael Jackson, chill on the grass, and so much more. This is only one of the great and publicly accessible parks in Budapest. We visited to leave our Love Locks and then returned to ride the Ferris Wheel at night. What spectacular views to behold. Do yourself a favor and stop by and enjoy this lovely park, we sure did.

    Words can hardly capture the incredible beauty of the Budapest Ferris Wheel. It's a majestic structure that allows you to see the city from a whole new perspective. Whether it's during the day, with the Danube River glistening in the sun, or at night when the city lights up, this experience is pure magic.

    Awesome, awesome, awesome. Great weather to match a great park. Lovely playground with a fence to keep active toddlers safe. Thanks Budapest!

  • 5/5 Gizella J. 3 months ago on Google New
    Festive ambiance is booming in the square! Huge crowd walks around in search for goodies for the holidays. Great location for grabbing a few bites, or keep oneself warm with some winter beverage. 😜. Excellent chance at finding delicious sweets, clothing articles, toys and clever trinkets and decorative items. Cash is preferred when purchasing but cards are acceptable as well.

  • 5/5 Andrea N. 1 year ago on Google
    A truly beautiful square, quiet and full of life and youth, especially in the evening. If you are in the city you must absolutely see it, also because nearby there are markets that sell souvenirs and typical products, as well as the famous Ferris wheel! There are also many benches where you can rest and a well-kept children's area

  • 4/5 lamia f. 10 months ago on Google
    A nice and family friendly place to visit. I have visited the place several times now. Walking around the area is nice. There are many souvenir shops around this area. Specifically you should definitely visit at night. The view of the ride while chilling with friends is an amazing feeling. The transportation system is connected well. 47,49, M4 and M2 are also available.

    Passed through Elisabeth Square (Erzsébet tér) a few times in early March 2023. Lively area in the city with historical statues, a park, ferris wheel and street food vendors. Not too far from St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent István Bazilika).

  • 4/5 Nelly K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place and beautiful. Skate park, kids park, dog park , place to rest and have a picnic, or even trying the wheel to have a amazing views . Otherwise all good except the police who break your balls because u can’t drink in this area in public and after 10pm the shops don’t sell alcohol anymore

  • 5/5 Wendy J. 6 months ago on Google

    "The Elizabeth in the name is Queen Erzsébet, second-to-last queen of Hungary. More widely known by her nickname Sisi, Elizabeth was the wife of Hapsburg Emperor Franz Josef, who ruled from 1848 to 1916. She was assassinated in 1898 in Geneva at the age of 60. "

    Nice peaceful park in the center city, which is well-maintained. There’s a skate park and beautiful lawn with statues and fountains. And of course, the Ferris wheel is located here!

  • 5/5 Dario F. 1 year ago on Google
    You should totally go. If it's sunny, you can take a few nice pics from the ferris wheel, see the handicraft fair, and for god sake, try a an ice cream in a kürtőskalács. You can sit and enjoy it on the grass next to the fountain.

  • 5/5 Alexander H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great park in the centre of Budapest. Green grass and access to the Budapest Eye 🎡 great place to hang out and ppl watch in summer as well as a meeting point for ppl to catch up and drink. With access to historical moments, bars, toilets and skatepark it is a cool place to chill out and watch the world go by. The park is within walking distance to most of the historical attractions as well the Danube and basilica.

  • 4/5 Georges Y. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most popular squares in Budapest. Many young people gather here to skateboard, hang out and party. There are several statues dotting the park and a big ferris wheel if you're inclined to take the ride. It can get very crowded, especially around rush hour because of the many transportation facilities around it.

    This place is home to the over-priced Ferris Wheel, but the place itself is quite nice. Plenty of benches to sit and grassy areas. Also a Skateboard area, Children's play area and Football/Basketball court.

  • 5/5 Trishie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this place twice during my stay . Once during the day and the last time was at night. The place is really nice. I enjoyed the time that l visited during the day because the view were so clear. At night it's fine too but l really didn't like it because they were a lot of people and we spent most of time on a place where they were no views.

  • 5/5 Nicolas G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice square to enjoy and very central to visit the rest of the city and especially Pest.

  • 5/5 Semina S. 4 years ago on Google
    Stunning park underneath the wheel. .loads of shops all around with plenty shops to buy memory goods. Prices are not bad euro or huf ... loads of tourism around and it is safe to walk with the kids or family. . Didn't go on the wheel so unfortunately don't know the price of it but all the walk to it and to the park around it was lovely.

  • 4/5 Wizard of o. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Paul B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 N A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great park for walks.. shopping district near by .. cafe and ice-cream place, the Budapest Eye in the middle if the park which was a great ride, weather in the daylight or night time both are amazing views and an enjoyable ride...

  • 3/5 Nick P. 2 years ago on Google
    Mostly under construction and the wheel felt out of place. Still a bit quieter then some streets around. Just quite average

  • 4/5 Péter H. 2 years ago on Google
    Ferris wheel - skip it, kinda meh (views from fisherman's bastion or the castle are way better). Bazilika - cool during the day. Drinking venues and little booths - meh and expensive. Sitting on the grass, grabbing a drink from a nearby supermarket/pub and talking to locals after 8pm - freaking perfect.

  • 5/5 Nasser A. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park and huge square along with Budapest Eye, Cafes & lovely fountain in the middle !! A great spot to visit while in Budapest .. Located in the heart of the city !!

  • 5/5 Monika B. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice, relaxing place in the middle of the city where you can refresh yourself with the small arifical lake, have a picnic on the grass or have some food and beverages in the many bars and restaurants around.

  • 5/5 sh3dovv 2 years ago on Google
    Served only coffee, which was great, but I can say the food looked delicious
