You'll encounter some of the best views of Budapest and the Danube at Liberty Statue, home to the Citadella, a World Heritage Site. This hillside played host to several vineyards in the 18th century and currently features several embassies and expensive homes. The reigning Habsburg Austrians built the citadel atop the hill after the Hungarian revolts of 1948 and 1949. Hike to the fortress at the summit of this 235 m (771 ft) rock hill for views of the city below.

  Great walk uphill! Great view! There’s a bar if you’re thirsty when you finishing puffing from the uphill walk 😂 I made this my first stop and carried on down the hill towards the other must see sights! Great day well worth it! In autumn the view is very pretty!

  A “must visit” place! Many, many places to be in Budapest and that one is one of the best. You have to walk about 20 minutes in nice park and alleys above the “Liberty bridge”. Amazing sightseeing and views to Budapest and Danube river. There is a coffee and beer shop as well as many small gift shops around. Enjoy your walk!
