The buildings with marks of Hungarian art nouveau and national Romantic,
Oriental-Hungarian styles are also worth seeing. The interiors of the recently restored
Elephant House are amazing, they are like a Muslim sanctuary. The adjoining 31 m high

Eastern Europe, was reopened in late 2000.

research center with internationally recognised
breeding programs for endangered native and exotic
