Ferris Wheel of Budapest

Budapest Eye Visited the Budapest Eye with my wife on October 18, 2025. The experience was very enjoyable, with beautiful views over the city from the top. The wheel makes around four to five full rotations, which gives you enough time to look around, take photos, and really appreciate the scenery. The Ferris wheel is located in a pleasant park area, and the cabins were clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly and polite, which made the visit even more comfortable. Overall, a nice attraction and definitely worth visiting if you want to see Budapest from above and enjoy a relaxed, scenic ride.

Nice quick ride where you can see some beautiful parts of the city. We went in the morning so there wasn’t much of a wait. It was just two of us and we got to go up alone. The wheel goes round 3 to 4 times before stopping to let people on and off. The ride lasts approximately 6 minutes or so. Not long but just right for what we wanted. The ride isn’t cheap but worth it if you have the time.

This was a must!! There are a few ways to see the city from high above and this is one of the best ways to do it. I goes round 3 times so you wont miss that perfect photo from the top!! Reasonably priced as well.

In the heart of the PEST side of BUDAPEST you'll find this breathtaking ferris wheel. Its in a park that has a cool skateboard section for the kids to play around on. The ferris wheel offers great views of the city. You will find more videos from Budapest on my YouTube channel @jealousmuchlol

The Budapest Eye is one of the best places to see the whole city from above! It’s located right in the center of Budapest, on Erzsébet Square, just a few minutes from St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Danube River. The wheel is about 65 meters high and gives you an amazing 360° view of Budapest — you can spot the Parliament, Buda Castle, and all the bridges over the river. Each cabin is closed, safe, and has air conditioning, so you can enjoy the ride any time of the year. A ride lasts around 8–10 minutes, and it’s especially beautiful in the evening, when the whole city lights up. Tickets: about €10–12 for adults and €5–6 for kids. You can buy them on-site or online. Opening hours: usually from 10 AM to 11 PM, longer in summer.

The wheel spins too fast, for a €12.50 ticket you get three rounds. Taking a nice photo is very difficult because the cabin windows reflect everything. But the view from the top is, of course, beautiful.

The best view of the city by far. Cabins take up to 4 grown ups, but they let in more children so families with 3 or 4 kids don't have to worry about being split. Well organized. Tickets are bought at the very entrance, at the end of the waiting line.

We jumped on late afternoon. Great views of the city as you come above the roof tops! Not a bad price for about 4 rotations. It wasn’t busy at all when we went up.
