Overview

The green mountain in the middle of the city, towering over the river? Yes, that’s our destination!
Combination of a Nature walk and a City sightseeing tour on a scenic route with a series of lookout points with breathtaking views of Budapest along the tour.

Friendly, knowledgeable local guide with 20 years of experience, who had tens of thousands of guests from 57 countries (pic. 6).

During the tour we elevate 120 meters including climbing some stairs up and down.

Then we take a hidden path leading at the rocky, steepest side of Gellért hill with cliffs over and under you, to almost literally walk over the river on a safe trail and arrive to a lookout point facing a new direction!

The Cave Church, for me the most interesting religious site of Budapest that was blocked by a 2 meter wall during communism. The sanctuary is also the centre of the the only Christian order founded in and by Hungarians.
Come and see!

The Cave Church can not be visited on Sundays, we do the rest though.
