Thanks to the hills on Buda side we have several good view points to the city. The lookout tower of Joseph-hill does not belong to the most famous ones but offers a different perspective.
(address: Józsefhegyi út – II. district, take bus number 91 to ‘Királyhágó tér’ and walk up)
This time I arrived there around 11 am and nobody was there. It was a bit windy but I defintetly enjoyed the view. Just me and the city. Later on an elder man arrived who started a nice conversation with me about old times.
If your time allows, you can just walk down on foot towards the Danube. And very close you can also find the Tomb of Gül Baba (Gül Baba türbéje).
