💫 BUDA & PEST AS ONE 💫

📍Margaret Bridge viewpoint The Danube River, which flows through the heart of Budapest, is both the city's lifeline and its geographic core, separating the hilly Buda district on the west bank from the lively Pest area on the east bank. The Szechenyi Chain Bridge, the Liberty Bridge, Buda Castle Hill, Matthias Church, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and Margaret Island are all part of Budapest's UNESCO World Heritage–listed treasures. Margaret Bridge is Budapest's second permanent bridge and a notable example of French Neo-Baroque bridge construction in Hungary. It connects Margaret Island's southern extremity with Buda and Pest's Nagykört. It was built 25 years later and was partially funded by tolls collected from the Chain Bridge. Budapest had become one city by the time it opened in 1876, according to the design of Frenchman Ernest Gouin. #budapest #hungary #europetrabel #wanderlust #majeanmarvels
