Elizabeth Lookout Tower | János Hill


It’s on the highest point of Budapest at 527 m, it has six floors and is about 23.5 m. If the weather is good, you can see the hill tops of Pilis and Mátra as far as 77km without binoculars.


The beloved Elisabeth or Sissi liked taking tours here, so when the wooden lookout structure was replaced by a stone one, it was named after Sissi.


This place is recommended for families with children too :), a nice place to spend an entire afternoon. It is not just another beautiful memorial, on the first floor is a mini-exhibition where a short history about this lookout tower. The top part of this tower was rebuilt by the same architect who planned the Fishermen's Bastion within the Buda Castle area.


Admission is free.
