Elizabeth Lookout

It’s a beautiful place with the spectacular view of Budapest. The only thing that mattered to me as a tourist was about the pictures at the entrance on the wall explaining about the history of the tower I guess and none of them was translated to english. Also, the cleanliness of the inside of the tower is another offer of mine as a tourist. Other than that this is a unque and wonderful place to visit in Budapest.

Surprisingly a free attraction in Budapest.
I mean it's nice but could be a bit more maintained.
We enjoyed climbing the stairs up to the top. There are different levels to enjoy the view.
Good spot for tourists to see the city from above

Great place for walking/hiking. The lookout is a treat for all the hard work walking up the hill. It's totally worth it, because you can see the city like in the palm of your hand.
Recommend 10/10

A stunning tower, free to enter, with a cafe/pub inside! The views are breathtaking in every direction. Easily accessible via multiple trails from Zugliget and Normafa, as well as chairlift from Zugliget and train some of the way from Normafa.

Absolutely beautiful views from the top, be prepared for a good healthy walk up. There are several routes to the top, I opted for the stone/wood stairs and honestly definitely a good workout.

I got to chair lift late, attendant was grumpy and wouldn't let me go down; so I decided to make my own way down... Stumbled on the lookout and it was best part of my trip probably. View is breathtaking and with no one there because chair lift was closed was icing on the cake.

Note. Its a HIKE down so I recommend Budapest Go app and good shoes (30mins+).
Google maps might have u walking for hours. Went to [Iren utca and got 22,22A,222 bus serves after 6pm]

Pleasant place with views, hiking area around. We were during weekdays at the end of October, not the best weather - but almost no people. The cafe inside was closed, except bathroom.

You can see the entirety of Budapest from here. A definite must in your itinerary of visiting Budapest.

You can get a chairlift up for 3000 ft per person / both ways, but there is availability to do the hike yourself.

We went on the weekend and it was no wait, but I was assured this is uncommon and there is usually a queue. But it does go quite quick.

The view on the top is amazing and there is plenty of cafes or ice scream stalls to get yourself refreshments. One directly under the tower. There are toilets for the public to use.

Nice one! You can visit in winter Time, its open.

Love the top view from the tower you can see all of Budapest from here.
You can go via normal Normafa park or Children's train with a small hike!
Feels surreal 😍

This place is amazing. Note that you cannot drive up to the tower, you need to park a little ways down, like a 30 minute walk through well marked paths or a paved road for cyclists. The view is stunning, I can only imagine the sunset. It says it closes at 8 so unfortunately you might not be able to watch the sunset in the summer. Definitely worth a visit!

If you have a half a day or a day this is the best place to come from Budapest city centre. Easy to reach by cogwheel train and a bit of hiking. Then take the chairlift down to city with an amazing view. The lookout is free to visit. And it can be very wind up there.

This is one of the best places to have a view of Budapest. A great hike as well for novice walkers. It's in a great condition with a small museum in it. Highly recommended of you're in Budapest.

Very nice scape away from the city, the access is free to the top of the tower, and to the park where it is located and it is possible to hike from/to Normafa Park. The view is very impressive and it is nice in all seasons (just beware of the weather being colder than normal during the winter.

Great place to visit, amazing views, worth the lo g walk and climb to get there

Near Normafa park, 1.4km hiking from the Normafa or we can say that around half an hour hiking.
Chairlift available - chairlift price 2000ft per person.

Avoid during summer. But must visit in winter.

beautiful place to relax and zoom out.

It's one of the best spots in Budapest, you will have a beautiful view of the city. It was a nice hiking trail to the Elisabeth-Tower.

Another breathtaking lookout in Budapest! This one is in my opinion the best lookout in Budapest! It's located on such a good spot that you can see everything from an amazing angle!
There are also multiple ways you can get up here without a car! You can take a skilift type of escalator which is really fun and so amazingly beautiful! Or you can take the germek vasút (the children train line!) I have been up multiple times and my recommendation is to go up with tram 60 what is also so beautiful and a fun experience. Then take the children train line. And then walk up to the lookout. When you want to go down I recommend to take the skilift down and enjoy the amazing views even more!

Although Budapest is somewhat difficult to see from the tower, the view of the surrounding hills is great and certainly worth the visit. The chairlift to the top takes roughly ten minutes and was 1800huf for a return trip if I remember correctly. I've heard that hiking to the top is also worth it if you have more time. There is a cafe inside the tower and inside the chairlift station and there are several food stands next to the station as well. Be prepared for wind and cold at the top, especially around this time of the year
