The tallest building in Hungary looms over the north of Pécs on the Misina peak in the Mecsek mountain range.

Comprising 18,500 tons of reinforced concrete, the tower was built between 1968 and 1973 and stands at 197 metres high.

A high-speed lift whisks you up to the cafe and observation platform at 72 metres, where there’s a small exhibition about the komlosaurus dinosaur, discovered in the Mecsek range in 1983. But the main attraction is the cinematic view of Pécs and the Baranyai hills to the south.
