Chain Bridge

Over the Danube, Budapest 1013

Obviously the best view is from the hill, but walking through the bridge is a nice walk, ilumination is great and you can see details of the steel structure.

Music Fountain

Margaret Island, Budapest

One of the many things to do on St Margaret's Island is to sit down on a bench, listen to the musical fountain and watch the spurts of water.
