The Liberty Café primarily welcomes visitors to the Bastion of Freedom exhibition, offering a selection that combines Hungarian pastry classics with modern desserts. Guests can enjoy the classic Kossuth Crescent, Rákóczi Cottage Cheese Cake, Cinnamon Apple Pie, or a slice of Lúdláb Chocolate Cake, while those with a taste for more distinctive sweets can indulge in the Velvety Raspberry Mousse, Dubai Chocolate Slice, and the Salted Caramel & Peanut Vegan Dessert.
Guests looking for a more substantial bite can choose from a variety of freshly prepared sandwiches. Alongside the Breaded Chicken Baguette and Pulled Pork Baguette, the selection also includes Homemade Egg Salad Sandwiches and Traditional Hungarian Cottage Cheese Spread Sandwiches. For lovers of warm dishes, the Caprese Panini or Ham & Mozzarella Grilled Panini offers a delicious alternative, complemented by Homemade Cheese Scones.
For refreshment, guests can choose from coffeehouse classics such as Flat White and Café Latte, as well as premium loose-leaf teas and homemade lemonades. The drinks menu also features signature creations including the Tokaji Aszú-based Liberty Spritz, Historia Gin cocktails, wines from renowned Hungarian wineries, and Budapest Beer craft lager.
The inner park and viewing terraces of the Citadella are freely accessible throughout the day. Opening hours of the Bastion of Liberty exhibition in the rondella and the hospitality venues may vary seasonally, so we recommend checking the latest information on the contact page.
The Citadella is located at one of Budapest's most iconic spots, on top of Gellért Hill. It can be reached by public transport via bus (27 – Búsuló Juhász) or tram (19, 41, 56, 56A – Rudas Spa) to the foot of the hill, followed by a short and pleasant walk.
The developed walking paths starting from Gellért Square or Tabán are ideal. Along the way, you can enjoy stunning views and take a break at the Liberty Café or with a refreshing chimney cake ice cream.
During the renovations, accessible paths have been created in several sections, making the Citadella increasingly accessible to a wider range of visitors.
From the Citadella, one of Budapest's most complete panoramas unfolds: the Danube, Parliament, Buda Castle, the bridges and downtown Pest are all visible.
In the morning, the light is clear; at sunset, the golden hour creates a warm glow; and in the evening, the illuminated city offers a unique experience.
During the day it offers a nature-filled panoramic experience, while in the evening it becomes romantic and visually striking thanks to the illuminated city.
