Bridges in Budapest
Budapest is a cozy and beautiful capital of bridges. To see them in all their glory, arrange an exciting tour for yourself.
You can start with the Szechenyi Chain Bridge, the very first one connecting Buda and Pest. In the evening, with the illumination, this Budapest landmark looks especially impressive.
Another bridge — Erzebet was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. By design, it is chained and also shines spectacularly at night. On public holidays, by the way, it is illuminated with the colors of the national flag.
But the most unusual bridge in Budapest isMargate, the second oldest bridge in the city. It consists of three spans: two of them converge over the cape of the island of the same name at an angle of 150 degrees, and the third leads directly to the island, making it accessible for walking.
