Margaret Bridge connects Szent Stephen’s boulevard in Pest and Margaret boulevard in the Buda side over the Danube touching the wonderful Margaret island.
You could only get to the island in a boat until a side bridge connected the island and the bridge (in 1900). The bridge – just like all the bridges in Budapest – was exploded during World War II. It was rebuilt and opened in 1948. Though it was later renovated, reconstruction works of a greater volume were carried out between 2009-2011, when a lane for bikers was also separated. The bridge received a fascinatig lighting, and the pedestrian underpass at the Buda end was given an exquisite look with a glazed tile covering.
