Szechenyi Chain Bridge

First-ever permanent connection between Buda and Pest, Szechenyi Lanchid is famous for the two meticulously carved-out stone lion statues at both bridgeheads. The Bridge offers the best panoramic views of the city, with the magnificent Danube flowing in the background.

Built by Istvan Szechenyi, this bridge has a deep-rooted history and took over 50 years to be completed. This suspended bridge is around 375 meters long and 16 meters wide. A walking tour through the city includes a walk across this picturesque stone bridge connecting Buda and Pest. You are sure to sight some of the best views on this walk with the Danube flowing under you. The bridge looks exceptionally captivating at night when it is completely lit up and the lights reflect from the water under it. It hosts some of the largest cultural festivals in summers on the weekends. It is best to visit this bridge at night, as the city lights are reflected on the river and provide a perfect landscape for photography.  You can also visit the Castle Bazaar and Royal Gardens along with the Clark Adam Square which are located around this bridge.
