Gellért Hill (Gellért-hegy) is a prominent hill rising above the Danube River on the Buda side of Budapest. Named after Bishop Gellért, who played an important role in the country’s history, the hill offers not only breathtaking views of the city but also several attractions and points of interest.

At the top of Gellért Hill stands the Citadella, a fortress built in the mid-19th century by the Habsburgs to control the city after the Hungarian Revolution. Today, it serves as a historical site and offers panoramic views of Budapest, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals.

The Liberty Statue (Szabadság Szobor) stands tall on Gellért Hill, symbolizing Hungary’s liberation from Nazi occupation during World War II. The statue can be seen from various parts of the city and holds significant historical and cultural importance.

There are several hiking trails leading to the top of Gellért Hill, making it a great place for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The hillside is also dotted with cave systems, including the Gellért Hill Cave (Gellérthegyi-barlang), which holds a small chapel inside.
