People's Park (Budapest)

Népliget or People's Park is the biggest public park in Budapest, Hungary. It is located southeast of the city centre, and covers an area of 110 hectares (270 acres). It was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the union of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. The park is the site of the Planetarium, which is a laser theatre, and the E-klub, the biggest night club in Budapest.[1]

The Planetarium

The park was the site of the 1936 Hungarian Grand Prix, held on roads within the park,[2] as well as a round of the 1963 European Touring Car Challenge season.
