City Picnic, Please
May 1 brings the first urban picnic under the leafy trees of City Park (Városliget): a sunny daytime hangout packed with workshops, a design market, and a fleet of excellent food trucks. It’s about showing up for the encounters, the buzz, and the spontaneous spark that makes Budapest (Budapest) irresistible.
