Budapest Park is Europe’s largest outdoor entertainment center operating throughout the summer season, located at the Soroksári Road bridgehead of the Rákóczi Bridge. Since its inception in 2012, it has become the definitive heart of the city’s nightlife, spanning over 11,000 square meters and featuring multiple stages that host a diverse array of international superstars and local icons.
