THINGS TO DO AT GELLERT HILL:

Learn about the historical past: 

The Gellért hill rises to approximately 460 feet or 140 meters on the Danube river, and Dolomite rock makes up its structure. Around 1850, the Austrian Habsburg dynasty constructed it. Stephen's Basilica, the Parliament, Chain Bridge, the Castle, Matthias Hall, Big Market Hall, etc., are a few of the sites that may be seen here. 

Visit House Gilbert for an authentic self-care ritual:

Gilbert House is an impressive four-star hotel that provides saunas, thermal pools, and swimming pools. Bluebeard, I Spy, Evita, and other films have all been filmed in the Gellért Bath Spa.

Witness the taban in its original forms:

The Gellért hill's northern slope, known as Taban, previously had yards and yards of vines that provided the raw materials for creating wine. The snow-covered hill serves as a location for sledding and ice skating in the winter and, in the summer, serves as a venue for rock concerts and events.

Visit the Cave Church, the Gellert Monument, and the Liberty Monument.
