This 65m high Ferris Wheel is operating all year long. The “Budapest Eye” as the locals jokingly call it, was opened in 2017. The ride lasts for about 10 minutes. It stops on the top of the first rotation for a short picture time. The carriages are nice and spacious. It provides an excellent city view. It is not a must-do activity in Budapest but after sunset, it is definitely a fun experience.
Our big white wheel is also a great orientation point for the Pest side of the city. If you see the Ferris Wheel that means you are close to the city center. That is why we start most of our tours in front of it. Combine the two activities and enjoy the view before joining our daily Free Budapest Tours in English!
