Once a quarry, and subsequently an ice rink and tennis courts, the busy transport nexus of Moszkva ter (Moscow Square) has kept its name due to the sheer cost of renaming all the vehicles, maps and signs on which it appears. Among the useful services that run from here are the red metro; bus #22 to Budakeszi; bus or tram #56 to Huvosvolgy; and trams #4 and #6 to Margit sziget and Pest's Nagykorut. Trams #4 and #6 run along Margit korut, past the new Mammut mall (fronted by a statue of the woolly beast), and can get you within walking distance of Gul Baba's tomb. The main attraction of the area lies behind the mall, where the site of the former Ganz Machine Works has been transformed into a Millenarium Park (daily 8am-8pm or later depending on events; free), with water features, vineyards and plots of corn to represent different regions of Hungary. Kids can be let loose on the fantastic playground , where the Peter Zold troupe provides entertainment from 8am to sundown, while visitors of all ages can enjoy the performances at the outdoor theatre (1000Ft) and the diverse, ever-changing rota of events and exhibitions (mostly free) in the converted factory buildings - pick up a brochure or call 1/438 5335 for information. The centrepiece of the park, the Sensational Hungarians exhibition , was unfinished at the time of writing, having run way over budget, but promises to dazzle visitors with the creativity and ingenuity of the nation's sons and daughters over the ages. The "inn" by the Lovohaz utca entrance hosts an internet cafe.
