Jókai-kert

ParkLocal favourite

The Svábhegy summer garden of the novelist Mór Jókai, who bought an abandoned quarry with the fees for two novels and planted it with fruit trees. Now a protected area and headquarters of the Duna-Ipoly National Park, it reopened in May 2025 with a restored Steindl villa (built for the Parliament's architect) and a bird exhibition.
