Zugliget Chairlift

4.7 ·

Ride the Zugliget Chairlift above the forest canopy of the Buda hills. At the top, climb the lookout tower for a view across Budapest before heading back down or hiking part of the way.

📖

Full description

The Zugliget Chairlift carries passengers up a wooded hill in Budapest's XII district, ending near the János Hill lookout tower with views over the city. Visitors can buy a return ticket or ride one way and walk the other, and it pairs naturally with the Children's Railway and the cog railway for a full loop in the Buda hills.

Reviewers describe a calm ride above the treeline and a distinctly cooler, quieter climate than the city centre. It suits families and couples, and a typical visit lasts about an hour.

Reviews

The return trip costs €11, though you also have the option of paying just for the way up or down and walking the other way. It's a unique place in terms of climate, views, and relax time. Highly recommended. To get there, your public transport ticket covers the area, so you won't need to pay for any additional…
