"MARGARET ISLAND - Budapest's finest green spot is located in the middle of the river Danube between Margaret Bridge and Árpád Bridge. Originally there were three islands - Spa, Pictor and Rabbits. These were framed with a common concrete shore as part of river regulation efforts in the 19th century and so the 2.5-kilometre-long island was formed"



"CHAIN BRIDGE - In 1873, after the building of the first permanent bridge over the Danube, occurred the legislative unification of Buda, Pest and Óbuda into one city: BUDAPEST"
