Budapest Zoo, foremost zoological garden in Hungary. Founded in 1866, it is administered and funded by the city of Budapest. A public foundation for support was established in 1992.

The main entrance and some of the pavilions are fine examples of Art Nouveau design. The zoo is home to nearly 9,000 animals representing some 850 species. Its specialties are domestic animals and rare and endangered wildlife species, particularly apes and ungulates.
