Now, that’s a different sign. I am glad you are invited to enjoy the carpet of grass.

If they only added a “Dogs are allowed” sign – I would be happy ;-)

So lush and inviting… Once, in Istanbul, a policeman reprimanded us for walking on the grass. He yelled “Problema, problema! No walk!!” while pointing at a sign that supposedly forbid walking on the grass. The sign was in Turkish, of course. :D

Interesting, I wonder if they are testing this type of grass for public spaces and want to see how it holds up. Were there observers or some method of measuring the usage on the grass ... in the US, "do not walk on the grass" signs are common and even more commonly ignored. I posted a photo of a much more positive sign which read "please stay on the sidewalk". It appears people respond better to a positive request to do something rather than a negative demand to not do something.

Normally you will see the opposite: a sign with the words NOT to step into the grass…I think the Hungarians do today much more for the comfort of their people…and that sounds very inviting!

Lucky guys where stepping on grass is allowed…
Also loved your János-Hill series. Last year made some walks there as the residence of the Portuguese Ambassador is quite close to it.
Trying to recover some time, I’m posting on Germany (Koblenz, December 2005) on Blogtrotter. Hope you enjoy. Have a great time!

Wow, what a great idea. I’ve never seen or heard of a sign like that in Boston. Most of the signs start with “Don’t…” so of course, no one pays any attention to them; but to actually invite people to walk on the grass is wonderful. I would like to take off my shoes and socks and walk barefoot.
