ParkLocal favourite

Budapest's 'underground flower garden', found in 1930 during quarrying and open since 1986, with cave pearls, gypsum crystals and cauliflower-like mineral forms left by thermal water. Since 1990 it has also been used for cave therapy, and a geology trail runs in the park above.

Good to know

  • Buy the combined ticket and do both caves on the same day; they are a few streets apart (Funzine).
  • The basic tour takes about 40 minutes, and the cave has a ramp and a stair lift for visitors with limited mobility (Duna-Ipoly National Park).
