Overview

This tour offers you a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, and you will enjoy mother nature and the stunning view from the highest point of the city. The 15 minutes ride on the chairlift will be a unique experience and on the way back an othe 15 minutes ride to enjoy the view.The hills of Buda offer a calm and relaxing area with the fresh air. It is always a little bit cooler in the hills 527 meters or 1700 feet so it is a nice getaway during the hot summer days, in spring time it happens often that while the city has rain in the hills there is snow. With transportation of a Minivan and guidance, you can experience the beauty of this area and the nature in the territory of a National park. This is a favorite recreational spot among locals and a perfect place for nature lovers but not known by visitors as it is a little bit far from the city but can be easily reached by car.

What To Expect

Elizabeth Lookout

The area we are visiting is in the hills of Budapest and it is in the territory of a national park. It is very popular recreational area with locals but most foreign visitors miss as it is a little bit far from the city center. We will visit a look- out tower which is the highest point of Budapest. The ride with the chairlift is 15 minutes each way up and down. There will be a 10 minute walk in the mountain to get to the lookout ower where you will have plenty of time to enjoy the fresh air and to take stunnning pictures from the highets point of Budapest. All the famous buildings of the city are visible from the top in clear weather so it is a special experience you will never forget with excellent photo options.

János-hegy, Libegő

The ride on the chairlift is an unforgettable experience and you will be in the chairlift alltogether half an hour. It lasts 15 minutes up and 15 minutes down. The chairlift is absolutely safe but for those who are not afraid of heights. You will sit in pairs in the chairlift and older people are welcome and young kids as well but they should be accompanied by adults. The employees of the chairlift will help you to get on and get off during the trip.The view from the chairlift will be really special and on the way down for 15 minutes basically the whole city will be in front of you. You will be in a different world after a short drive from the city and you will understand why this way of transport is so popular among locals.
