They are open from early morning until late at night, and on Fridays, you can even listen to some live swing and jazz music.

Above the always bustling Gozsdu yard is the Gozsdu Sky Bazar with a wonderful terrace where you can see a panorama view that is probably the best in the city. When you exit the 6^th level of the parking garage on Holló street, you will see the top of The Citadel, the dome of the  St. Stephen’s Basilica, as well as the rooftops of the surrounding houses. After you have seen everything you wanted, you could try a quesadilla, a light salad or a pizza, drink some cocktails or watch the sunset.

Leo Budapest is another great roof terrace restaurant in the city. From up there you can see the stone lions of the Chain Bridge, the Gellért hill and of course the Danube. This restaurant is undoubtedly at one of the most beautiful places in Budapest, but if the view does not convince you to visit them, the menu will. The food is simply delicious, but do not forget to reserve a table, because you probably will not get one otherwise.
