The best spot to watch the Perseid meteor shower in Budapest

If you'd like to watch the Perseid meteor shower, one of the best spots is Normafa in the Buda Hills - most local people who want to watch the stars this night go there.


According to the forecasts, the peak time will be on the 12th of August, between midnight and 4 am.

Either take the metro and then the bus, or just walk out to Deák Ferenc tér, take night bus 990, which takes you right to Normafa. Click on the map below and plan your route with your departure time.



Forecasts also say that this year
"Under perfect conditions, rates could soar to 200 meteors per hour"
- which will be at least twice the average.
