Plan your sightseeing tour from 120 metres up in the sky

Ever wanted to look over the whole of Budapest at a glance? Or plan your days spent in the Hungarian capital from a bird’s eye view? Yes, and yes. What better reason to start your sightseeing tour on the 29th floor terrace of the MOL Campus SkyDeck.

The incomparable 360-degree panorama of Budapest is justification enough to buy a ticket to the capital’s highest panoramic terrace, from where it is no great exaggeration to say you can see almost every tourist attraction it is worth taking a closer look at when exploring Budapest. Here are just some of them:

Fisherman’s Bastion

One of Budapest’s best-known buildings is to be found in the Buda Castle. The viewing terraces of the neo-Romanesque Fisherman’s Bastion offer unparalleled views of the city: opposite is the Danube façade of the Parliament and the Pest-side waterfront, while Margaret Island is off to the left. The seven-pointed stone towers of the building listed as part of a World Heritage Site symbolise the seven Hungarian tribal leaders who occupied the Carpathian Basin.

Parliament

Europe’s second-largest parliament and the third biggest building of its kind in the world, the building of the National Assembly on Kossuth Square is easy to reach via the No. 2 metro line. By pre-booking entry to the neo-Gothic-style Parliament, the Holy Crown and other coronation relics are all available to view.

Budapest Eye

Budapest’s big wheel is in the heart of the downtown area and can be ridden around the clock from Monday to Sunday, providing new perspectives on the streets of the Pest side.

Bálna Budapest

Situated by the Danube between Liberty and Petőfi Bridges, the industrial glass building in the shape of a whale serves as a form of modern hedonistic hub with art galleries, lively restaurants and bars awaiting those looking to recharge their batteries against the backdrop of a spectacular panorama.

National Theatre + MÜPA Budapest

Almost in line with the MOL Campus SkyDeck on the far end of Rákóczi Bridge, two of the capital’s outstanding cultural institutions stand side by side, the National Theatre and MÜPA Budapest.
