Don't go out of your way

Lookout to a not very impressive landscape. This is a must if you visit Veszprém but I was not very much impressed. The view is nice, but nothing extraordinary.

Nice tower

You can see this tower from everywhere. You can visit it also and go on the top but you can also see it from underneath also. It is one of the symbols of Veszprém.

Fire tower

Cool music will play from here. It was free in off season to walk around it. Not sure when they charge if you can actually go in it. Thick castle type wall a foot thick in a couple sides with wood Boardwalk.

Beautiful overview of Veszprém

Check this tower if you don't mind narrow snail-stairs:) it cost 600Huf/adult, and the prize contain a small historical overview of the castle at the other side of the road above the souvenirs shop.
