"Nothing's more romantic than strolling across a bridge with a beloved, but this bridge means more than just amor—Széchenyi Chain Bridge was the first structure across the Danube in Hungary, built in the mid-1800s and, as a suspension bridge, a marvel of architecture and engineering at the time. Now one of seven bridges across the river, it was the first to connect Buda and Pest, shifting the flows and development of the city. Budapest natives see it like New Yorkers see the Brooklyn Bridge. Lion sculptures guard its entries, it's lit up at night to dazzling effect, and of course it offers stunning views of the literally blue Danube."

Iconic bridge. Designed by an English engineer and built by a Scotsman. The bridge can be found near attractions in Budapest and at various vantage points in the city.

This is a must in Budapest! Whether you do it during the day or night, this place offers an amazing view from both sides of the city (Buda and Pest). It is very windy too.

The Chain Bridge is one of Budapest’s most famous landmarks and a true symbol of the city. Whether you walk across during the day or admire it lit up at night, the views of the Danube, Buda Castle, and Parliament are unforgettable. The architecture is elegant, and the lions at each end add character. A perfect place for photos or just soaking in the atmosphere

The iconic bridge is a prime attraction of Budapest. Walk over the bridge takes about 15 minutes and is very refreshing. I enjoyed superb views of the Danube River and the Parliament.

A walk along the Danube River in Budapest at night is stunning. The illuminated Chain Bridge and Buda Castle create a breathtaking scene that is both elegant and serene. It's the perfect way to end a day of sightseeing — whether you’re strolling across the bridge or simply admiring the view from the riverbank.

One of the sights worth walking through. The bridge looks great in the evening light when seen from the castle hill. Almost immediately after the bridge you can take the funicular to the castle hill

It’s best to visit this bridge in the evening when it’s emptier with lot less tourists as well as better lights and lighting. It’s so cool to see river boats passing below you as you across the bridge. This bridge is a tourist bridge, not used as a traffic bridge for multiple lanes for cars and trucks. It kind of a smaller version of Brooklyn bridge.
