Every town has its zany locales. In Budapest, there’s a random tree in Erzsébet tér lovingly devoted to the departed pop icon Michael Jackson.

The largest mobile ferris wheel is currently located in Erzsébet Tér (Elisabet Square) on Pest-side in Budapest, and is being called the Budapest Eye. The name must be a nod to the famous London Eye, though the Budapest wheel design is much less reminiscent of an eye than the one in London–this owning to the use of a framework rather than cables to form the “spokes.”

It is big, and the top of it can clearly be seen from the Castle on Buda-side.
