Perfectly situated atop Gellért Hill, Citadella was built in 1854 by the Habsurgs after the War of Independence. The fortress also played an important role in WWII as a military air raid base. Today, the three storied bunker has been recreated exactly as it was in 1944 and is open to visitors hosting displays of historical documents, articles, and a photo exhibition “Siege of Budapest.” There are also permanent open-air exhibitions, a hotel (Hotel Citadella), restaurant (Citadella Étterem), and an event space perfect for dinners, concerts and more.Advt.: Summer Cruise Sale at VacationsToGo.com – Save Up To 75% Now!
