 The Pest side with the
Parliament from the Hill by MedioLatino
It's just so high above the city, offering a great overview of the structure of Budapest. From the Statue of Liberty (in front of the Citadella) you can also see, the Buda side and the southern part of Pest including the Csepel Island. From the side facing the Danube, all the Pest side, the buildings along the Danubeside, like e.g. the Parliament and also the Buda Castle is visible. Simply amazing! :) Leave a Comment Directions: On the top of Gellert Hill in Buda. Access by bus #27 from Moricz Zs. korter. Get off at Busulo Juhasz (Citadella) stop and walk uphill. Cars not allowed beyond a certain point.Website: http://www.citadella.hu

By now you are wondering who that nut is
waving in a static way (he's a statue) with
a cross high above the road here.
Well it is mister Géllert. I already told you
that king Stefanus (Esteban) had this
missionary from Venice to help out to
Christianize the people.
When the king died in 1046 an unstable
period began. Pagans nailed the bishop
in a ton and pushed him of the hill.
In 1083 the Vatican made him holy and that is
why he is still up the hill. (It doesn't take much
to become holy , get burned , crusified ,
thorn in pieces etc. For a lot of holy people
see my Rome page)
You can walk towards him by stairs
coming from two sides
and an artificial water fall in the middle.
But we where going bathing? No? Leave a Comment

 Liberation Monument at
Dusk by dcwizard
The one time I climbed the hill to get a closer look at the Citadella and Liberation Monument, the area was off limits due to the St. Stephen's Day celebrations on August 20. It turns out that Gellért Hill is the perfect place from which to launch fireworks! Leave a Comment Directions: Can be reached by bus No. 27.

 View of the Citadella by diocletianvs
On top of the hill there is a citadel built by the Habsburgs in the middle of the 19th-century, its hill top position was used to strengthen their hold over Buda's inhabitants after the failed War of Independence between 1848-1849. Since then, the building has been used as a prison camp and an anti-aircraft battery by German forces during the World War II (some military devices are still on display). There is also a Soviet-style Liberation Monument overlooking the Danube, but the only real reason to visit this place are breathtaking views it offers. Leave a Comment
