Budapest Óriáskereke
Budapest Óriáskereke rises above a Budapest square as a modern circle of enclosed cabins. At 65 metres, it is Hungary’s highest mobile Ferris wheel and has stood here since 2013.
Electromagnetic drive keeps the rotation nearly silent, while 42 cabins carry four people each. As you climb, the view opens across rooftops, bridges, domes, the river, boats and busy streets. The wheel first appeared here before spending time at the Sziget Festival, then returned as a lasting part of the cityscape. Its wheelchair-accessible design makes the quiet ascent available to more visitors.
Each cabin forms one of 168 places above the city at once, turning everyday Budapest into a panorama beneath you.
