Highlights
If you are looking for the absolute highlight of Budapest and want to experience a bit of urban nature as well and a spiritual side of the city, this is the tour for you. We start by visiting one of the most unique churches in town: the cave church, hewn into Gellert Hill. While part of it is man made indeed, the general atmosphere takes you back to the early days of Christianity, when the church was hiding from public. We continue on foot up to the Statue of Liberty and the Citadel, while pausing at one or the other lookout spot to enjoy breathtaking views of the city. The summit is the absolute highlight of Budapest and if you are already tired, we can take a coffee break. Our journey continues downwards to one of the lower terraces of the mountain, to a place of peace and quiet: the philosopher's garden. To wrap up the tour we finish our little mountain hike at the statue of St. Gerard of Hungary.

Itinerary
The Cave Church in Budapest is one of the most unique religious sites of the city built in the 30' by the only Hungarian monastic order: the Paulines. It was closed down during communism to be reopened after the Fall.
The symbol of Budapest, the Statue of Liberty is the most recognizable landmark of the city from where breathtaking views will be expecting us
Once the symbol of Habsburg oppression and now transformed into an incredibly visitor friendly area. A coffee break is also possible here.
Located on a terrace underneath the citadel, this is one of the hidden gems of the city, offering a place for beautiful views and the possibility of meditating on some of the great achievements of mankind
Our last stop is at the statue of the name-giver of the Mountain, St. Gerard of Hungary from where you once again get a unique view of the city.

About Budapest
Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, a grand capital of thermal baths, riverside palaces and lively ruin bars.
On the Buda side, Castle Hill holds Buda Castle, the Matthias Church and the white turrets of Fishermen's Bastion, all looking down on the river. The Chain Bridge crosses to Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stretches along the bank and St Stephen's Basilica rises a few streets inland. Gellért Hill and its Citadella give the widest views.
Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
