To replace those 24 trees, 54 saplings have been planted, maples and alders around the edge, lindens and oaks in the middle. Still looking somewhat weathered given the current storms, it is hoped they will survive the transplant and flourish.
Green space stretching to 1,500 square meters was also promised, with shrubbery and benches around the now orderly square. As you survey it, you rediscover the beautiful architectural heritage surrounding it, elegant façades shown in a better light by the renovation, although in places tall shade has been sacrificed for smooth concrete.
In addition to a three-storey underground car park, new parking spaces have been created at street level, a boon for residents of the area.
The statue of Nádor József, ‘the most Hungarian of the Habsburgs’, who helped rebuild Budapest after the Great Flood of 1838, has returned to centrepiece the square. The fountains by famed Hungarian porcelain manufacturers Herend and Zsolnay are the architectural highlight of the renovation, the latter a replica of the Hercules Baths in Transylvania.
Legyetek ott első városi piknikünkön!
Gyertek, és töltsünk el egy vidám napsütéses tavaszi napot együtt a városligeti fák lombjai között május 1-jén, ahol day-time piknik, workshopok, sok szuper food truck és dizájnvásár is vár mindenkit.
Ünnepeljük együtt a tavaszt, a találkozásokat és azt a pezsgést, amiért annyira szeretjük Budapestet!
