Exciting Segway ride to the Citadella
Get ready to ride up to the highest viewpoint of Budapest, learn about local history and see the main sights, all with ease on a Segway. We ride across the elegant Elisabeth Bridge to the Buda side of the city and go up Gellert Hill along a winding but fascinating path. On the way we visit the Garden of Philosophy, a quiet and cozy place where you can rest and reflect. The sculptures in this garden invite you to slow down and think about life and the world around you. At the top of the hill we see the Monument of St. Gerard, the Citadella and the Liberty Statue, admire the panorama of Budapest from above and take plenty of photos. Expect a relaxed trip to the top of the hill, with the Citadella, other historical sites and great views of the city.
Easy way uphill
Starting our Segway journey along the central streets we will ride across Elisabeth Bridge, one of the most beautiful bridges in Budapest. On the western bank of the Danube we will find a small cozy park with a bronze statue of Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria, greatly loved by the Hungarian people. From here begins a winding path up the 235-meter Gellert Hill, the highest viewpoint of the city. On the way up we will visit the Garden of Philosophy to feel its atmosphere of reflection on the eternal. On the very top we will discover the Citadella and the observation deck from where you can see the whole city of Budapest and the proud Liberty Statue. While going downhill we will pass by the Gellert Baths and the Gellert Hill Cave, which served as a chapel in the middle of the 20th century, and return to the office with a pleasant breeze along the promenade.
