Budapest - Zoological-Botanical Garden Fovárosi Allat-és Növénykert
|
|
The Budapest Zoological-Botanical Garden is situated in the north-west part of Városliget. It was laid out privately in 1866 and later handed over to the city. In 1911/12 enclosures and animal houses were designed to resemble natural habitats whilst also reflecting the very latest in modern architecture; the mosque-like elephant house and the aviary designed by Károly Kós are well worth seeing.
