nice on a warm spring or
nice on a warm spring or summer day. when you get in, there's definitely more of the park than the cemetery feeling (and if you are used to the zentralfriedhof in Vienna, you might find it a bit too spacious :-)), and it hasen't got the flair of a Parisian cemetery of course, but if you go more east there will be a lot of famous graves and you will get a good impression of important Hungarian names and personalities. Like the Blaha Lujza grave!
