Climb the gate, take a look on Rose Hill, and follow your walk on Tóth Árpád walking area, along the walls, with a niceview on Buda Hills, specially at sunset. Good departure to distover the Castle district, specially if you took the castle bus 16, with a departure fron Széll Kálmán square.

As the name suggests, it was the port connecting the Castle with the highway to Vienna. During the Middle Ages it was called Szombat-kapu (Saturday Gate), because markets were held in front of it every Saturday. It has been called Becs kapuszu by the Ottomans.
