15:04
Walk up Gellért Hill. The 40-minute walk from the Museum of Terror is a steady climb into the protected parkland. Use the path heading southwest from the anchor. You will want to arrive well before the sun goes down to find a good spot on the summit.
16:19
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view from the hill. The golden light starts around 15:29, but the actual sunset at 16:19 is the main event. The sky turns warm colors over the city as the light fades.
17:04
End the evening at Teaház a Vörös Oroszlánhoz. This teahouse is an oasis of peace with little nooks and a top-quality selection of teas. It is open until 22:00, making it a perfect calm spot to recover after the hill walk.
Local tip
The walk up Gellért Hill takes 40 minutes from the Museum of Terror. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer as it gets cooler at the summit. The teahouse near the anchor is a quiet alternative to the busy bars on the main street.
