The City Park is the place you must visit if you are in the largest market town on the Hungarian Great Plain. The green lungs of the town are very popular with both tourists and locals.

The Visitor Centre has more to offer than just information. It is the place where you should start your tour with the exhibition and the 3D film about Hortobágy, and then go out an experience it in actual reality. This is also where you can hire bikes.
