  Don’t miss the lights coming up during the sundown. It’s a beautiful experience. During season which is typically May onwards there are restaurants on both sides of the chain bridge on the Pest side that serve delicious food. A must visit. It’s also possible to walk on the bridge and enjoy the beautiful view of the Danube river

  what can I say? it's a bridge! and it's a good bridge! it is sturdy and did not shake or wobble when we drove over it on the tour buss! if you had to cross the river, I would recommend this bridge because of safety alone! it also has nice sights from both sides of the river and on the river itself! the bridge has some cool lion statues but does not have plants growing on it which takes some points off aesthetics for me. the bridge also does not offer many activities other than walking and driving over it or cruising under it with a boat! the bridge does offer good photo opportunities since it is a large and impressive landmark that is many times bigger than the average human and makes the subjects viewing your vacation photos reflect on their mortality, place in the universe and importance next to a bridge which will outlive them.

  We went both under and over this bridge. We took a river bus along the river to see the sights we is a really cheap way to travel. We the took trams across the bridge to travel between Pest and Buda & finally we walked across with the setting sun - the bridge looked like it was made from gold. With the carved lions it was a romantic walk with my husband that I will not forget.

  It's a beautiful bridge but you can't really appreciate it up close because it's just a bridge. You do get decent views of both sides of the city though while crossing it. Footpaths are also broad enough and separated from the road by a lot so it's safe and comfortable to walk across. Cross it at night when it (and the city) are all lit up as well.

  Such a beautiful bridge. Although Budapest is full of them. But obviously this one is more iconic. Have a stop halfway and watch the boats sail through the Danube River. Great photo opportunity here. Can be quite a nice romantic walk with the right person 😉. But being a solo traveler, obviously it's just me and my backpack!
