- Note: The festival isn’t free, actually entry is quiet eypensive (daily ticket 7 000 – 8000 HU) so we recommend the other Oktoberfest Events in Budapest listed above.
If the pricey entry doesn’t bother you City Park – a sprawling wooded lawn right behing Heroes’ Square – is much more spacious then the downtown venue, an excellent venue for an outdoor festival.
TIP: If you come with kids to the OktoberFest in City park then we recommend going to the Zoo or going up on the Balloon (the big red and white striped hot air ballon that ofers you a breathtaking vista of the city).
Live concerts – Bavarian folk music – and free Oktoberfest memorabilia (official Paulaner Oktoberfest beer mug and Bavarian festival hat) are the additional draws of the festival in this venue.
