Statue of Liberty

  Standing majestically on Gellért Hill, the Statue of Liberty in Budapest serves as a prominent symbol of the city’s freedom and independence. This impressive statue, erected in 1947, commemorates the liberation of Hungary from Nazi occupation and is a recognizable feature of Budapest’s skyline. Visitors can hike up to this 14-meter-tall monument for panoramic views of the Danube River and the city below. Open year-round, it offers a unique perspective regardless of the season, but spring is particularly popular due to the blooming cherry trees nearby. While exploring, don’t forget to capture the surrounding sights, including the iconic Liberty Bridge and the bustling neighborhoods below.
