ATTRACTIONS
Evening view of the Danube River, Chain Bridge, and the Pest side, taken from the Buda Castle (on the Buda side, of course). The Parliament Building and part of Margaret Island can be see to the far left.
Busy backsteets of Pest, quiet for the moment on a Sunday morning.
Emerging from the narrow backstreets of Pest to the airy riverfront. It was a beautiful Sunday morning with "California weather": pleasantly warm and dry. Later on it was a little more humid, but for the morning I felt like I was in southern California. However, this is not surprising as Hungary is famous for its productive vinyards and great wines.
Pest-side view of the Chain Bridge, which is probably the most widely recognized symbol of Budapest around the world. It was built between 1839 and 1849 by British engineers and restored in 1987. It is 375 meters (410 yards) long.
Walking across the Chain Bridge, I thought that it bore some resemblance to the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, although somewhat smaller. At night, the Chain Bridge "cables" are outlined with points white light, making a lovely scene at night as well as during the day. The unlit light bulbs can be seen in this photo.
