The clean, white construction of this bridge makes it stand out among the bridges connecting the center of Buda and Pest. As the second-newest bridge in Budapest, it is situated at the narrowest part of the Danube River, spanning only 290 meters. Originally it was a decorative chain bridge, but it was destroyed at the end of WWII and could not be rebuilt in its original form. The Buda end of the bridge runs directly into Gellért Hill, necessitating a complicated arrangement of roads to connect to the bridge. The bridge was designed in such a way because a wealthy nobleman, who sat on the City Council at time, owned that particular area of the riverbank, and made a fortune by selling the land for construction purposes

After a walk on Gellért Hill or an afternoon at the Gellért Baths, take a walk across the bridge and enjoy a different view of the city and the surrounding bridges from the middle of the Danube.
