Overview

This tour offers you a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, and you will enjoy mother nature. The 30 minutes ride on the chairlift will be a unique experience and you will enjoy a stunning 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 in a height of 500 meters or 1600 feet it is a nice getaway during the hot summer days. There is only a short 10 minutes walk to the tower which is steep, if you walk regulary it is an easy task but if you do not walk regulary it might be a challenge. With transportation of a Minivan and guidance of a local guide you can experience the beauty of this area which is in a National park. This is a favorite recreational spot among locals but hardly known by foreign visitors as it is a little bit far from the city, that is why we will use a private van for transport.
Reminder: This tour will lasts for two and a half hours including the travel time

Guckler Karoly Lookout Tower

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 lookout 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 over where you will have plenty of time to enjoy the fresh air and to take stunning pictures from the highest point of Budapest. All the famous buildings of the city are visible from the top in clear weather so it is an experience you will never forget with excellent photo options.

The ride on the chairlift is an unforgettable experience and you will be in the chairlift all together half an hour. It lasts 15 minutes up and 15 minutes down. The chairlift is safe recommended 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 the chairlift. 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.
