Cultural Site

Gellért Hill Cave

A church built into the caves of Gellért Hill in the 1920s and run by the Pauline order. The communists walled it up in 1951, and it reopened in 1989. Closed on Sundays. Skip it if church interiors don't interest you; it's small and dim.

Viewpoint

Citadel Lookout

The lookout below the Citadel, facing straight across the river to Pest and up toward Parliament. It's free and open day and night. Skip it in fog; you'll see nothing but white.

Park & Garden

Gellért-hegy Jubileumi park

A park on the south slope of Gellért Hill, with lawns, paths and an easier climb than the stairs on the river side. Skip it if you'd rather go straight up; it's a detour for a gentler slope.

Landmark

Szabadság-szobor

The bronze woman holding a palm leaf over the city, put up in 1947 and kept after 1989, when the Soviet soldier at her feet was taken away. She stands beside the Citadel and you can walk right up to her. Skip it if you've seen her from below; the view from here is the reason to come.
