★★★★★3 months agoOne of the most beautiful bridges from Budapest! Worth seeing it and walking on it, if you visit Budapest!

★★★★★a month agoBeautiful bridge during the day or night. It was rebuilt after the Germans destroyed it when they left during World War II. Several tour busses cross it every day.
