We didn't set out to climb the hill, but just wandered to the top (well more of a climb!!) but worth it as the view is spectacular! Nice to relax at the top and rest and even read for a wee while. Worth the climb and I felt justified having my dinner that evening! more

Good trip to take. The paths are well paved and clearly marked, but can get steep in parts. You are climbing a couple hundred meters plus, so it's a brisk walk but completely doable; how easy you find the walk, and how tired you feel at the end will likley depend completely on your level of fitness. Once at the... more

We felt perfectly safe as other people were wandering up the hill also and we were in broad... more

Don't miss this! Make sure you're there just before the sun goes down, so you can watch the lighting of the chain bridge. more

No need to pay to get into Citadella in order to enjoy these views. The view from Gellert Hill is the best in Budapest. It's a great way to see the city. Take one of the public transport buses up closer to the top so you don't have to climb up the whole thing (#27 I believe). The monument and... more
