The Chain Bridge<br />
In winter one used to be able to walk on the iced surface of the Danube, but during ice drifts, commuting in this way between the two banks of the<br />
river became impossible. Once, István Széchenyi was forced to wait an entire week in December of 1820 until he found one brave boatman who<br />
would take him to the other side. After this incident, he initiated the building of “thae Bridge” . Building this bridge had historical significance, since it<br />
was the first permanent bridge between Pest and Buda. After being taken over by local traffic in 1849, it became a national symbol of development.<br />
Both Hungarians and visitors enjoyed the use of this bridge.<br />
