After quite a steep climb we were rewarded with some stunning views over Pest in particular. We also went on to visit the Citadel and, in particular, what they called the waxworks in the Bunker. This showed some of the history of the German occupation during WWII and was fascinating. Well worth a visit.

You can travel up here on one of the hop on hop offs but we chose to walk, it really is well worth the effort as from each point you go up you get a different perspective of Buda and Pest. Once at the top you have plenty of seating areas to sit and take in the beautiful vistas, we... More

We were staying at the foot of the hill and looking up at the huge statue everyday was spectacular enough but up close even more impressive. The views of the city are lovely there are old buildings to look round too, food and drinks available too. It's not as bleak as it appears from the ground you feel very tiny... More

It was good fun climbing Gellert Hill to the top, though the hike was more difficult than our guidebook made out to be (it was said that the walk's "bark was worse than its bite", though as a group in our twenties we still found the climb quite tiring). About halfway up you find the Gellert Statue, which is one... More

We purchased tickets for the Big Bus tour which is a great hop on hop off tour of Budapest. This service takes you almost to the statue which is a short walk away. Amazing views and great photo opportunities.

great views up here of Budapest. Up there is multiple picture points! Also there is the citadel which houses a WW2 air raid bunker which is only £4 each to get in, which includes wax works. Worth walking up but if not you can get a taxi or bus.

A rather braising walk up the hill from the gellert hotel but worth it and the panoramic view is fantastic frequented by young lovers who enjoy a drink and a picnic.

I started at the Gellert hotel and walked up the hill to the citadel. There is a bunker used by the Nazis, complete with pictures and reconstructions, which is worth the trip. Also the artillery and the views make it a good visit. I went up and over and came down the far side, through lovely parks and pathways to... More

Worth going up to check out the statue, but don't miss the very famous Gellert Hotel whilst in the area! Don your costumes and swim amongst statues, columns and gargoyle fountains and go right back in time. Lots of swimming pools in this hotel and also lots of really warm thermal baths both inside and on the rooftop where lunch... More
