Zoo Café Budapest: A Coffee Break with Animals

During our Erasmus in Budapest, we wanted to try something a little different from the usual tourist attractions. While looking for interesting places to visit, we found Zoo Café, a café where you can have a coffee while spending time with different animals. The café is located in the city centre, on Fejér György utca, close to Kálvin tér. It opened in 2014 and has around 20 different species and 65 animals, so it is definitely not a normal café.

Fauna and Flora of Budapest: Nature in the City

Budapest is a city that combines historical architecture and modernity with an abundance of green spaces. Despite being one of Europe’s liveliest capitals, nature blends harmoniously into its urban environment, offering havens of biodiversity amidst the hustle and bustle. Nature in parks, avenues and gardens not only beautify the city, but also play a crucial role in the quality of life of its inhabitants and in the conservation of local fauna. In addition, these green spaces serve as urban lungs, regulating temperature and improving air quality in an environment increasingly affected by urbanisation and traffic. Flora: Budapest’s green spaces are home to a wide variety of plant species, providing shade and beautifying the city. Among the most common trees are the lime trees (Hársfa), which are very common in the area, the oaks (Tölgyfa), which provide shelter for birds and small mammals, and the horse chestnut trees (Vadgesztenye), which bloom…
