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
minaret serves as a lookout. The Palm House, the largest tropical hall in Central and
Eastern Europe, was reopened in late 2000.
