Escape the city traffic on Margaret Island, a car-free stretch of green in the middle of the Danube. Wander past the musical fountain and medieval ruins, and follow shaded paths with river views.
Full description
Margaret Island is a car-free green island in the Danube, roughly 2.5 kilometres long, and one of Budapest's most visited recreation spaces. Visitors come for the landscaped gardens, the musical fountain near the entrance, medieval ruins, and long, shaded paths for walking, jogging and cycling.
It works for families, couples and solo walkers alike, and reviewers say there is enough to fill days, though two hours covers the highlights. The island is free to enter, open round the clock and only a short hop from the busy centre, with good river views from its edges.
