Candlelit boating

As night falls, thousands of candles will light up the surface of the lake, creating a magical setting where you can explore Városliget by rowing boat or pedal boat.
And there may be an extra surprise in the sky too: although the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak around 12 August, there will still be a chance to spot a few shooting stars.
Come with your partner, friends or family, choose an evening time slot, and enjoy 35 minutes of night-time boating or pedal boating on the candlelit lake.

Candle Lake x The Heart of Yin

A special summer evening on the City Park Boating Lake, where thousands of floating candles light up the water, Vajdahunyad Castle rises in the background, and a calm, intimate yoga experience awaits.

This time, Candle Lake comes to life in a quieter, more inward-looking form: an evening where the noise of the city fades, and candlelight, water and the night sky help you slow down, arrive, and reconnect with yourself. 🌙

The Heart of Yin practice will be led by Anna Nagy, YogaSecrets, guiding you from gentle flowing movement into a deeper, calmer Yin experience.

SUP Yoga

Every Wednesday afternoon, you can recharge with a SUP yoga class on City Park Boating Lake, organized by Emocean Yoga.

Salsa Nights

Every two weeks, you can experience the vibrant atmosphere of South American salsa and bachata parties. The classes are taught by professional dance instructors, and both beginners and advanced dancers are welcome to join.
