Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
situado en parte alta de la ciudad, este lugar nos encantó, además de por la propia arquitectura que es algo asombroso, disfrutamos mucho de su ambiente, una zona con gente, pero tranquila, para pasear y disfrutar las magnificas vistas que tiene, Desde el mirador y terraza de estilo neorrománico y neogótico, tienes vistas panorámicas del río Danubio y el edificio del Parlamento. Recomendado perderse por esta zona y callejear por la zona.
El lugar es muy bonito para tomarte buenas fotos, por lo tanto hay mucha gente. Tienes muy buenas vistas de Pest. Tienen baños públicos pero solo puedes pagar en efectivo.
El lugar es precioso y las vistas son estupendas desde allí. Eso sí, no merece la pena pagar la entrada para subir a la parte más alta, las vistas son las mismas desde los ventanales de abajo. Además antes y después de las horas de apertura y cierre de taquilla se puede subir a la parte de arriba gratuitamente (pero como digo, no merece la pena). Si se tiene la oportunidad, aconsejo visitar este lugar tanto de día como de noche!!
