May 2023 I've updated this review as returned to take this chairlift again this year. The main thing to say is that the return cost has almost doubled to 3000 HuF, everything else as before. I can understand the price increase as they probably couldn't cover their costs at 1600 HuF. June 2022 Amazing ride, I would recommend everyone to take the Chairlift even if you're fit enough to walk it. At 1600 HUF for a return ticket, I think it's the cheapest Chairlift I've ever used, and you get a Full 14 minute journey each way. It was so quiet thus morning, just the creak of the cables and the sound of birdsong as I ascended. I had gone in the morning to visit Elizabeth Lookout, but in the afternoon I did a second trip just to enjoy another 28 minute ride there and back. Only thing I'd say is I was there at opening time 10.00am, and with only two ticket machines and a queue of people, it took a while to clear. I think you're better off coming at 10.30 and the queues will have gone. Quite amazing to see how the Chairlift route cuts through several people's gardens, and they've had to cut trees/hedges so it doesn't interfer with the journey.

A unique experience which should not be missed! I suggest walking up the hill, approx 1 hour, markings all the way up, for then to catch the chairlift down. Well worth it, an absolute must for all visiting Budapest. Its very easy catching the bus to the start of the hike, Google Maps will tell you which one to take. Tip; Download the Budapest Go app to buy tickets for transport in Budapest.

Lovely view and there is a lot of possibilities to walk on different trails on top of the mountain with nice asphalt roads. There is a viewpoint from a tower at the top, about 15 minutes when you get off the Chairlift. And the view and nature is fantastic.

A fun afternoon out, with a beautiful scenic view from the top. The ride was very pleasant. Definitely a good experience for all ages. At the end, smile for the camera to get a photo to remember the trip. There are a few food choices at both ends and some picnic tables available.

It was very much closed and looked like it had been for sometime despite the website saying open. A long bus ride and walk for nothing. Very disappointed

A real hidden gem of a spot in Budapest. The ticket costs 3000HUF. Takes around 15 minutes up and again down. The views going down particularly are fantastic. At the top there are great viewpoint opportunities and nearby there is the Elizabeth Tower for even better views. The children's railway is also relatively near Several cafes at the top and lots of rest areas. You can get bus 291 to the last stop. It leaves from Nyugati Station.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic sight unfolds before us from the chairlift to Budapest! (Original) Fantasztikus látvány tárul elénk a libegőről Budapestre!

If you attended a school in Eastern Europe the whole experience of this place will make you nostalgic of school trips. There is a cafe on each end of the chairlift. It serves an assortment of fast foods (that the rich kids would buy, and if you're friends with them maybe you could get a fry!), and—for those with normal (low) levels of pocket money—a selection of snacks from chocolate bars to crisps to leave your hands greasy. And with those greasy hands you'd put the last change into a machine to convert it into a commemorative coin. As a cherry on top there was a small metal cart in the front with an old dry gentleman selling candy floss in 7 colours (I think I'd struggle to call these flavours). The chairlift operates well and quickly, there seem to be no queues even at busy times (spring weekend)—there are regular ticket machines to buy the tickets and you can pay by card. There are toilets on both ends of the trip. At the top the paths are well marked, so if you want to go explore the park and hill there are many options. And, if you want to walk back down and do it all over again, you can too.

A rather cool way to see the panorama of the whole Budapest! The chairlift is safe, so no need to be scared- it's hard to fall down from there. After going up I recommend to visit the Erszebet lookout tower and children railway. The air up there is considerably clearer, so it's really nice to go hiking there! And a small tip- there are a lot of mini-cards with different discounts on both upper and lower station- take some, that way you can always get some % off on souvenirs or other fun experiences around the city!

(Translated by Google) I really liked it uphill, but unfortunately on Sunday at 15:30 it was no longer possible to go downhill so I had to walk which would not have been a problem, but the road is ONLY for trained tours. If you left your car at the bottom of the air, make sure you even get back. Anyway, I don't understand why you can only go down until 15:30 ... #BKV (Original) Nagyon tetszett felfelé, de sajnos vasárnap 15:30 kor már nem lehetett lefelé menni így gyalogolni kellett ami nem is lett volna gond, de az út CSAK képzett turázoknak való. Ha a levegő alján hagytad az autód figyelj hogy még vissza is érj. Egyébként nem értem mért csak 15:30 ig lehet lefelé közlekedni ... #BKV

Beautiful views! Highly recommend (closing at 19:00 so you better arrive no later than 17:00 in order to walk around at the top before going back down).

👍👍

Chair lift attendant was grumpy, rude and didn't let me ride down , last people were not far in front. Place looks abandoned, entrance makes place look as if its closed. Ticket prices are weird and nobody was there to help. Machines do have English but weird. I'd only used to see lookout . Walk up the hill to the lift was nicer.

Awesome, convenient and beautiful way of getting up to the top of the hill.

I enjoy this ride every time I visit Budapest! I even engaged my now wife during one such ride! This time, we came with our 4 yo boy - he loved it! The ride does not bring you all the way to the top, you have a steep part to walk more for about 7 minutes. There is more than one café up there. From the top, you can enjoy great panoramic view of all the Budapest and surrounding area. Totally recomend this hidden gem.

Gorgeous view and a serene climb to the top! You can see all of Budapest on the way down. Definitely worth it, especially in the autumn!

So close to the city but can definitely make you feel as if you’re somewhere very far away from city noises.

It is a fun ride and the view is lovely but they don't provide you proper instructions before you board the chairlift which is something you need to do quite fast. The result for me was a twisted ankle and a torn shoe. Definitely worth trying. Definitely skip if you have a fear of heights

Really good place service is really good

Friendly and helpful staff with comfy chairs. Nice way to up or back down.

It was okay, the view was good while coming back from the top. But while going up, there is nothing special. And it's pretty low as well from the ground. Ticket is expensive tho.

The chairlift is great. Very nice views! Totally worth the price. Only a small hike away from one of the best lookouts in Budapest.

Brilliant fun going either up or down with great views throughout. Can seem a bit intimidating at first, but actually quite safe and peaceful. Just don't drop anything!

I recommend this to everyone who loves nice views but is too lazy to actually walk up a hill, the view from Jánoshegy is gorgeous. As for the chairlift, it's a cool experience and don't worry about the language barrier while buying tickets, there are ticket machines in several languages. Also, the tickets are really cheap.

(Translated by Google) We love walking in the area. True, sometimes there are a bit many, but the air is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the strudel is fine by the Norma tree. 🙃🙂 (Original) Szeretünk a környéken sétálni. Igaz, néha kicsit sokan vannak, de jó a levegő, szép a táj, és finom a rétes a Norma fán által. 🙃🙂

(Translated by Google) Pleasant family recreation in the immediate vicinity of Budapest. The hill has a lookout tower, a playground, a bike path and plenty of hiking opportunities. (Original) Kellemes családi kikapcsolódás Budapest közvetlen közelében. A hegyen van kilátó, játszótér, bringaút és rengeteg túrázási lehetőség.

(Translated by Google) Nice neighborhood, it's good to walk here, there is a buffet, .washroom, and the chairlift is a very good adventure! (Original) Szép környék, jót lehet idáig sétálni, van büfé,.mosdó, és a libegő nagyon jó kaland!

This is a really cool way to visit Erzebet Tower and the Norma Fa area. We were lucky as there were no lines on the day we went. Great views of Budapest and the surrounding area. Reasonable prices.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Sessellift Zugliget in Budapest! The breathtaking views and smooth ride made for an unforgettable outing. I highly recommend this attraction, especially on a beautiful day when the weather is in your favor. Don't miss the chance to take in the stunning scenery from up high – it's a must-do in Budapest! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When you enter the bottom station, it loons a bit outdated, but this a fun attraction to do when in Budapest! It takes you away from the busy downtown and transports you up to a stunning view over Budapest and the surrounding area. Definitely hike a bit further to the Elizabeth Tower to take in the amazing panorama of the hill.

Great fun, very calm ride. Great views. Loved it a lot. Quite a few food options at the top as well as hikes and trails.

It has such a nice athmospere when you go up and down! The view is amazing on your way down. If you take your little one with you, do look after him/her as it's easy to slip out.

Stunning views, the staff were friendly and very helpful. There isn’t much to do at the top. There’s a cafe, kids playground and lots of hiking trails.

More than wonderful. The views are simply amazing. Worth visiting

Fantastic outdoor active for you and your family on a great day.

great views of nature and budapest. On top of the hill there is a small shop and you can go walking or ride on the train.

Very nice trip coming down from the hills (we took the Gyermekvasut up there). Such a calm and relaxing way to travel down over the rolling hills, treetops and even through someone’s backyard! Highly recommended if looking for a different kind of urban transport experience.

I’m not a fan of heights but this was great! Not sure why more people don’t do it. Use google maps and it will tell you what bus and tram to get, which is fun for itself. Add in a walk back from the chair lifts through a Budapest leafy suburb for a 20 slice of real life. The ride was cheap but it was one of the best things I’ve done here. We had a picnic at the top of the viewing platform, well a level down front the top and brought bottle of wine too. Excellent day and best memories 10/10

Quirky attraction in Budapest, it leads up to the Elisabeth viewpoint, the highest belvedere in the city. You could go there with the Children's Railway, and descend with the chairlift, as the view is phenomenal during the descent

Chairlift to the top of the Mountain then q 5-10 walk up hill to the lockout was the 3000ft worth each person. There shops up and down. Make sure to bring water. There a machine that takes photos of you on the way down and up. Amazing viewer. 291 bus goes to the swing fra the city.

Gives you an amazing view of the city at a good price and photos are taken

Nice view when going down. So my tip would be that first you go up, do your things there and then go back down.

One of my favourite places in the city. I enjoy the peaceful ride. There is no frills, it is just a chairlift where in places you can nearly touch the trees with your feet or hands and even see into some people's massive gardens. For me it's a must every time I visit. You now get your picture taken before your ride ends at each end and can buy it as a photo or fridge magnet. Great memento!

Must visit try in both season summer and winter. Chairlift experience is amazing. Natural View from both side.

(Translated by Google) Outside, the children's ticket was written for 100 forints, and we were amazed. When we went in it turned out to be 6 times 600 ft. And we would have gone with a group of 10. (Original) Kívül a gyermekjegyet 100 forintra írták, csodálkoztunk is. Mikor bementünk kiderült hogy ennek 6 szorosa 600 ft az ár. Pedig egy 10 es csoporttal mentünk volna.

(Translated by Google) It is a good thing that there is a little photography for the arrivals, which can be picked up at the buffet in several product packages. I don't know if it's up there. On the other hand, it is certain that the building would need a little renovation. (Original) Jó dolog, hogy van egy kis fotózás az érkezők esetén, amit a büfében lehet átvenni többféle termék kiszerelésben. Azt nem tudom, hogy fent is van-e. Az viszont biztos, hogy az épületre ráférne egy kis felújítás.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful landscape (Original) Gyönyörű a táj

Great views going down great picture going up. I recommend getting the picture going up as its a beautiful backdrop

Great experience. The best view of the city. The only negative is the shop at the top of the hill where you don't have the option to pay by card. Disappointing!

Fast, the staff speaks English, great views

The actual chair lift ride was a pretty cool and fun experience but the staff at the bottom weren't all that helpful - at the top we had no issues.

Very nice, green well organized, very good for some inner peace with yourself or w/ family

Lovely activity and experience. You can hike up/bike down if you're fit enough too. We only went to the lookout points but looked like there was lots of hiking and things to discover once you were up there too

Great way to get up and down the hill. Nice views, especially going down.

Spectacular panorama of the city of Budapest. You can almost touch the trees during the journey.

Before the end of the course, a photo is taken, let's smile! 😉 Thank you, it was a very good experience! 😍 (Original) Kicsit borús időben nagyon jót kirándultunk.
