Bridges

The Danube divides Buda on the west from Pest on the east. Although Pest came first, it was destroyed by Mongol hordes. Protected by the river, today's Buda was left as the older part of town.

Buda Castle

The first and nicest looking bridge to cross the Danube was the Chain Bridge. Clark Ádám tér (like in East Asia, Hungarian surnames precede the given name) at the Buda end is named after the builder.

Chain Bridge and Parliament

The Margaret Bridge (far background) and Elizabeth Bridge (foreground) are two more of the many other bridges.

Pest

However, the most internationally-known bridge in Budapest is probably the
Megyeri Bridge due to open next year.
