Citadel Lookout

"The Citadel Lookout, located atop Gellért Hill in Budapest, offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of the city. The Citadel itself, built in 1851 by the Habsburgs, was originally constructed as a military fortress to control the city after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Today, the Citadel serves as a popular tourist destination, offering sweeping views of Budapest, including the Danube River, the Buda Castle, Parliament Building, and the surrounding bridges that connect Buda and Pest. The lookout is easily accessible via a series of steps or by a winding road leading up the hill. Once at the top, visitors can take in breathtaking vistas, with the city spread out beneath them. The view is especially stunning at sunset or at night when the city's lights illuminate the skyline. The Citadel is also home to a large statue of Liberty (Szabadság Szobor), erected in 1947 in honor of the Soviet liberation of Hungary during World War II. The lookout area around the statue offers great photo opportunities, as it allows visitors to capture the unique blend of historical architecture and natural beauty of the city. The Citadel Lookout is a must-visit for anyone exploring Budapest, offering a comprehensive and memorable view of the city."

"Unmatched views of Budapest in turn for a little hike up the hill. P.S: At the time of publishing this guide, part of this sight is under construction. "
