The Széchenyi Chain Bridge, popularly known as Chain Bridge, is built across the Danube River. Opened in 1849, it was the first permanent bridge connecting the Buda and Pest sides. An architectural marvel, it was often regarded as a symbol of the city. Named after István Széchenyi, a revered Hungarian Statesman, the bridge was designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and constructed by Scottish engineer Adam Clark. Today the wrought-iron chain suspension bridge is an important monument and tourist site.
Margaret Bridge is noted for its unusual three-way design. The bridge connects Buda and Pest while also linking Margaret Island. Designed by French engineer Ernest Goüin, the construction of the bridge commenced in 1872 and was completed in 1876 and stretches across a length of 607.5 meters. In 2009 the Bridge was renovated to give it a new look, and today it is a very famous landmark in Budapest.
Margaret Island is a tourist hotspot in the middle of the River Danube. The 2.5 kilometers Island can be accessed via Margaret Bridge and Árpád Bridge. It is a famous recreational area in the city with promenades, cycle paths, and picnic spots inside the Island. It also houses ruins dating back to the Middle Ages. Margaret Island is known for its parks, swimming pools, and musical fountains.

The Bastion was first built in the 1700s and guarded by the guild of local fishermen, hence the name Fisherman's Bastion.
One of the most stunning palaces in all Europe, Buda Castle, belonged to the Hungarian Royalty. It is also known as the Royal Palace and Royal Castle.
