Elizabeth Look-out

Viewpoint at the end of the Castle Hill ridge

At the northern end of Castle Hill, beyond the cathedral, the ridge ends in a steep drop into the Séd valley. A small terrace here — the Erzsébet kilátó, named for the 19th-century Hungarian Queen Elizabeth — gives the best view in the city: north and west into the Bakony Hills, south down the curve of the old town, and straight down into the valley far below.

It is the natural endpoint of a walk along the Castle District street, and a particularly fine spot at sunset.
