    "The ticket bought before 6 o'clock on the same day, it is very convenient to take a taxi from the hotel in Buda to the pier. It is convenient to pick up the ticket until early and you can get on the previous boat in advance. The scenery is very good. There are drinks available. You must check in ~."

    Highlights: The city of Budapest is divided into two by the Danube River, and has the reputation of "Pearl of the Danube". Board a sightseeing cruise and enjoy the views from the deck along this legendary river. The verdant forest, the majestic baroque palace, the ancient and mysterious Matthias Church, which is more than 700 years old, the opera house loved by Princess Sissi, the Fisherman's Bastion, which symbolizes the seven tribes, tells the vicissitudes of thousands of years. The beautiful scenery unfolded in front of me without reservation. At dusk, the sky is gorgeous and quiet. The crimson sunset and the Danube River form a strange picture. The lights on both sides of the river are gradually rising. This is the night in Budapest, like a soft waltz accompanied by a blue Danube River.

    "I have to say that the chain bridge is taken from any angle. If you want to take a picture, stand on the platform of walking to Buda Castle. The picture is at the bridgehead. It happens to be the location of the bus stop No. 105 next to the Leo restaurant on the top floor of the Clark Hotel. The viewing location is excellent. The position on the left can see the Capitol, the position on the right half to see the chain bridge, while looking at the Buda Castle, picture 6 on the platform protruding on the left hand side of the Buda Castle"

    Highlights: The Chain Bridge, also known as the Szechenyi Bridge or the Szechenyi Chain Bridge, was originally named after its patron, and was later commonly known as the Chain Bridge because of the construction method of iron chain traction. This is a bridge across the Danube, connecting Buda and Pest, and a symbol and landmark of the merged city. The construction of the Chain Bridge began in 1839 and was completed in 1849, with a total length of 380 meters. When it was built, it was the bridge with the largest span in the world at that time. The bridge body was made of chains as the skeleton. There were pedestrian walkways on both sides of the bridge deck, and vehicles could pass in the middle. The bridgeheads standing on both sides of the strait are two tall and majestic stone triumphal arches. Huge steel cables are drawn out from the bridgehead, and the stretched bridge deck is suspended, outlining a strong curve. There are two stone lions guarding the bridge near the Pace area. The lion is resolute and majestic. It guards the Chain Bridge day and night like a patron saint. Walking on the Bridge Walking on the Chain Bridge, you can enjoy the charming scenery on both sides of Buda and Pest, the tranquil Danube, the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building, and the dreamy Fisherman's Bastion. When you are in it, it is like stepping into a frozen historical picture. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the scenery here is unique. The Buda end of the Chain Bridge has a vertical cable car from which you can ascend the Castle Hill. On the Pest side of the Chain Bridge is Széchenyi Istvan Square, where you can admire the palace-like buildings of the Hungarian Academy of Social Sciences and the Four Seasons Hotel. The Chain Bridge, a romantic place, is full of romance and literature when the lights are on. Under the light and shadow, the Chain Bridge is more mottled and has a hazy beauty. You can see many couples dating here. No wonder it has always been known as Budapest. One of the more romantic places, the famous "Love in Budapest" has also been filmed here many times. The Buda Palace on the Buda side is a great place to look over the Chain Bridge, from where you can enjoy a stunning view of the Reichstag, the Chain Bridge and the Danube. Every year on the Hungarian National Day, the Chain Bridge is only for pedestrians, and fireworks will bloom on the Danube River.

    "The Margaret Bridge in Budapest is beautiful, and compared to the chain bridge, it is a slim woman, more compact and delicate. There are also yellow trams passing by on this bridge, which can be photographed up close, but the speed is not slow, pay attention to safety, and you can see the Capitol."
    Budapest
    1.9km from downtown
    Highlights: The Margaret Bridge spans the Danube and connects Buda and Pest on both sides of the river. The bridge is divided into two parts at a 165-degree angle, with a small bridge extending in the middle, leading to Margaret Island. This is a very good angle for taking pictures of the Capitol Building, especially at night.
