This city is fill by Danibe river that splits the city in two, but joining it at the same time. Danube as sea in some other cities gives an other dimension and become a more beautiful city and a breath in the middle of huge streets and squares.. About 6 bridges cross the Danube the most famous it is (on this pic), but there are 2 more southern that deserve the visit, Erzs?bet and Szabads?g Hid (or bridge) Leave a Comment

by DPando Southwards from the most famous brige (Szechenyi) there is this dark green one who runs from Gellert area in Buda to central streets in Pest and further away to Rakozci and Keleti It was my fault i didnt see Gellert but i walk at night from Deli station to this bridge, where by the way if you need to take the bus is just after crossing to Pest almost under the bridge, so i saw some former buildings beneath wester side buda castle , a different point of usual view ..always from the river and Pest side!

The Chain Bridge is the central point of Budapest, connecting two parts of the town Buda and Pest. The construction begun in 1839 upon Count Istvan Szechenyi's initiative and the English engineer T.W.Clark produced the designs.

 The Liberty bridge by aramat The Liberty bridge opened in 1896, in the year of the Hungarian Millennium. Its green metal structure makes it quite different from all the other Budapest bridges. The bridge connects Gellert ter in Buda (where you find the Hotel Gellert and the Gellert Spa) and the Fovam ter in Pest (with the Central Market Hall, a great place to shop for food, and the Budapest Corvinus University, where I got my degrees :-)). Oh, I almost forgot: Liberty bridge is quite popular with suicidal people. About 30 people climb up to the 'turul' birds each year to commit suicide (although practically all of them change their mind on the top, and firefighters have to bring them down, closing down the bridge and stopping traffic in half of the city at the same time).

 The Chain Bridge from the Tunnel (Alagut) by aramat Budapest is divided by the Danube and although it's possible to go from Buda to Pest (or back) by metro, it's so much nicer to walk across one of the bridges. Leave a Comment
