    The Garden of Philosophers is a peaceful park in Budapest that offers a nice breeze. It provides a beautiful view of the town and stunning sunsets. You can relax on the meadows and benches, walk along the paths, and enjoy the greenery. It's a calm place where you can clear your mind and feel close to nature.

    Hang out on top of Budapest's largest reservoir! Lovely views, peaceful atmosphere, if you don't mind the folk musicians/dancers who seem to be active every evening there nowadays

  • 3/5 Mikko L. 2 years ago on Google
    Randomly found spot in Buda. Other cool arts too. Three stars because of the weather we had. Warm,sunny weather, some great Hungarian white and this would be four stars easily.

    Such a beautiful sculpture in the park, I was also surprised that is is not an attraction to the tourists, as there was hardly anyone there, the park is not big, but the view is stunning, and located in a very quiet residential area. Easy to reach by bus or on foot from the bridge

    Nice park with spectacular views to the city and the Danube. The statues are nice, too of course. It has some benches and shade and grass, but no water tap

  • 4/5 Peter L. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place to visit ... there's a severe climb but stunning views of Budapest... nothing other than that ... a few bronze statues of religious figures (not philosophers), including Abraham who appears to be dead 😳

  • 5/5 Elena N. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice view. Special joy if you are lucky to come here when it’s not overcrowded

  • 5/5 Ragavendar Reddy V. 5 months ago on Google
    Must visit place for sunset views

  • 5/5 Jacqueline S. 4 months ago on Google
    I walked all the way up gellert hill to see another statue and ended up finding this unique garden. It was interesting to see and to learn more about its origin. The five figures from whom world religions are derived stand on a perimeter of a circle in a sunken pool. with a silver ball in the center symbolizing the divine essence, and with Abraham laid down in front. The sculptor is Japanese, based on what I could find online. I wish there was information provided next to the many statues in Budapest.

    (Translated by Google) The group of sculptures is attention-grabbing and very thought-provoking, especially if we know the lives and actions of the patterned people. (Original) A szoborcsoport figyelem felkeltő és nagyon elgondolkodtató,főleg úgy,ha ismerjük a megmintázott személyek életét,cselekedeteit.

    (Translated by Google) The pavement and the green area are - unfortunately - neglected. :( (Original) Térburkolat és a zöldterület - sajnos - ellhanyagolt állapotú. :(

    A filozófusok kertje rendben van, de a háttérben akkora szeméthalom található, hogy az ember kedve elmegy nagyjából mindentől......😡

    On the road between Gellert's hill and Buda's castle, you'll find this sculpture, in a quiet park. In the middle of the day, it's a really quiet place where one can find a great view of the city. The statue themselves are pretty cool, some religious figureheads and thinkers joined together.

  • 5/5 Eman A. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a nice and quite place, the monuments are great and so attractive, the view from there is special, there is also a nice restaurant nearby. This place is easy accessible by foot from the Elisabeth Bridge

  • 5/5 Alex H. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice park with panoramic views of Budapest as well as open areas for picnics and activities. Worth the stop on the way up or down Gellert hill

  • 5/5 Zivile Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! Love it!

  • 5/5 Ashok G. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a small cosy garden with statues of Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus etc standing in a circle and engaged in philosophical discussion. You will find many families and couples sitting and enjoying food and drinks at all times.

  • 5/5 Nick B. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliantly weird collection of statues here. Makes for a nice spot to watch the sunset, surrounded by green grass and great views.
