Margaret Bridge

Bridging Nature and History at Margaret Bridge

Did you know that this beautiful arch bridge has been connecting Budapest to Margaret Island for over a century? Built in 1876, Margaret Bridge is more than just a pathway; it embodies the city’s historical evolution.

Designed by French engineer Ernest Goüin, the bridge holds historical significance as one of the earliest in Budapest. It features a unique dogleg design, allowing it to stand at a right angle to the Danube River where it meets the southern tip of Margaret Island. A spur leading to the island was later added in 1901, enhancing accessibility to this green haven.
