If you come to Budapest, you should for sure visit the Gellert Hill. Quite a lot of tourists miss out on this great spot, but if you invest some hours walking to the top of the Gellert Hill, or maybe pay a taxi driver to take you there, it will for sure be worth the money (just make sure the driver doesn't trick you). From the Gellért Hill you can see a stunning view of Budapest, with almost all major attractions possible to see (for example the Parliament, Chain Bridge, Stephens Basilica, the Castle, Matthias Church, Big Market Hall and the Heroes Square... though quite hard to see as it is far away).
On the hill itself visitors can also check out a World War II museum located inside the citadel on the hill. This was originally built between 1850 and 1854 by the Habsburgs, showing their power and might to the Hungarians, whom they just defeated during their 1848-1849 revolution. On the hill a big statue can also be found, a lady holding a palm branch in her hands. This statue was raised in honor of the communists liberating the Hungarians from the Nazis. After the fall of communism the text on the statue was changed, and is now commemorating the heroes who have sacrificed their lives fighting for the liberty and the freedom of the Hungarians.
