Walk down to Nagymaros Free Beach. The 37-minute walk from the tower area is steep, so take it easy. Find a spot on the sand facing west. The beach is open 24/7.

End the evening with a coffee or tea at Sigil Gallery and Cafe. It is only a two-minute walk from the beach and stays open until 21:00, giving you a calm place to sit after the view.
Local tip
The walk from the tower to the beach is a 37-minute descent. If you are coming from the tower, start your descent at least an hour before sunset to secure a good spot on the sand.
