The Fire Tower is a 48-metre tower at the south-western end of Veszprém's castle hill. Its round lower part is medieval; after an earthquake in 1810 Henrik Tumler added the late-baroque upper storeys and gallery in 1811–1814, for a fire watchman. Visitors climb to the gallery, and the clock plays a verbunkos tune by Antal Csermák every hour.
Veszprém Zoo, named after the Africa explorer Kálmán Kittenberger, opened on 1 August 1958 as Hungary's third zoo. It spreads over the wooded Fejes valley and Gulya hill a short walk west of the town centre, with an African savanna enclosure, an elephant park, harbour seals and penguins, and a walk-through aviary opened in 2015.
