You're standing on Gellért Hill in Budapest, right in front of the Citadella. Towering above you is the Liberty Statue. Take a look up at that bronze woman. She's fourteen metres tall and stands on a twenty-six metre pedestal, which is why you can spot her from almost anywhere in the city. In her raised hands she holds a palm leaf over Budapest. Fun detail: a Hungarian nurse posed as the model.
