12 although it can scarcely contain the traffic on its narrow two lanes. It is flanked on the Pest side by one of the city’s most beautiful examples of Hungarian Secessionism – the <strong>Four</strong> Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace – and on the Buda side by historic Castle Hill. The stretch of Pest waterfront beyond here is known as the Danube Promenade (Duna korzó). It is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and the setting of many a budding romance. Cafés dot this section of the waterfront as do a string of international hotels such as the Marriott, which is fronted by a slick cocktail lounge and riverside terrace. Board a boat from the nearby MAHART terminal at Vigadó tér, and travel as far upstream as Szentendre, Visegrád, Esztergom and even Vienna. Or stay within the city limits and experience what life might have been like when the city's residents used boats as the main mode of transport. Elizabeth Bridge & Gellért Hill Elizabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) is more modern than its predecessors upstream, given that it wasn’t rebuilt until 1964 and lost all of its 19thcentury embellishments in the process.

Towering above the Danube to the south are the cliffs of leafy Gellért Hill. For some of the best panoramas of the city, trek up to the Statue of Liberty (Szabadság szobor), a memorial to the Soviet Liberators of World War II, or grab a coffee with a view at the nearby Citadella Lounge adjacent to the Habsburg-era fortress. Liberty Bridge Liberty Bridge (Szabadság Bridge) is the southernmost of the city’s historic bridges. It connects Gellért tér with Fővám tér, the site of the beautifully restored Great Market Hall – the largest and most elegant of <strong>Budapest</strong>’s markets. Rub shoulders with locals on your quest for paprika and spicy Hungarian sausage or locally grown fresh produce. We recommend ● Beautiful vistas of the Danube from Margaret Bridge ● Fresh lemonade at the Holdudvar terrace on Margaret Island ● A stroll along the Danube Promenade ● Look-out by the Statue of Liberty on Gellért Hill ● Shopping at the Great Market Hall
