Zugliget Chairlift
Sightseeing
Directions

The Zugliget Chairlift in Budapest is Hungary's first passenger transport ropeway, offering a scenic ride to János-hegy, the highest peak in the city. Since its opening in 1970, this popular attraction has been whisking visitors up and down the Buda Hills on hanging double-chairs, covering a 262-meter elevation difference in about 12 minutes each way. With a quirky history, stunning views, and a touch of nostalgia, the Chairlift is a must-try experience for anyone looking to add a bit of fun and adventure to their Budapest itinerary.
