Programmes such as morning yoga, meditation and Zoomba training are organised, but it is also possible to simply sit down on a blanket and wonder at the beautiful panorama of Budapest from the bridge with a picnic.
Palace of Arts (Művészetek Palotája)
The palace was built in the southern part of the Pest Danube bank, next to the Rákóczi Bridge and the National Theatre. This is the newest multifunctional cultural facility of Budapest and fully meets the demands of the 21st century. It provides a permanent home for performing artists and lovers of three different branches of art: music, visual arts and theatrical arts, at the highest level. Its exhibition rooms, concert halls and theatres work independently of each other and curate their programmes individually.

In front of the building, there is a trimmed hedge labyrinth and a “ziggurat” hosting seven rooms. The labyrinth and the ziggurat are connected to the open air stage by a promenade.

The levee can be visited throughout the year and it is a popular place for meeting and recreation for every age group. It is accessible on foot, by bike, by car or from the Danube by boat.
