We had been traveling from Amsterdam to Budapest, stopping at many ports along the way, seeing MANY churches and cathedrals. We were kind of tapped out on churches, but we'd read the history of the Gellert Hill Church Cave and wanted to check it out. So amazing. And SO NOT like anything you'll see anywhere else. The history is special and the caves themselves speak more to what church should be. Simple places of worship, not overblown presentations of the church's wealth. Historical or not, and even though grand and spectacular to see. THIS feels more connected. It's a must see.

We did not know anything about this monastery/church and discovered it while walking. A really friendly and helpful member of staff explained what the visit was all about and we really enjoyed it. The audio guides were easy to use, just type in the numbers at each stop and follow at your own speed.

It was a very interesting construction and a fascinating design located at the base of the cliff of the Mount Gellert facing river Danube. It was appearing like carved out from the rock. There were cave openings like windows in the cliff and it appeared that there was access to them. We could not enter this site which was called Rock chapel as the entrance gate was locked. The chapel complex was eye catching and we had to see it from the road side. Unfortunately there was no one to get information and wondered whether this centre has any internal access from the Cave church Sziklatemplom.

This wasn't on our list as we hadn't heard if it, but stumbled across and I'm glad we did. This is not a big ornate church like the Gaudi church or some of the more well known churches in the world but it is beautiful non the less and very charming. It is small quiet, peaceful and unique as it is built into a cave. If you are visiting the Gellert baths or the citadel this is well worth seeing it's in expensive and only takes around 20 mintues to tour around, so won't eat too much into your time, in a city where there is so much to see and do.
