SZÉCHENYI CHAIN BRIDGE<br />
One of the most outstanding architectural<br />
sites of <strong>Budapest</strong>, part of the World Heritage,<br />
symbol of the city. It was inaugurated in 1849<br />
as the first bridge connecting Pest and Buda<br />
making a big difference in the development<br />
of the capital. The construction was initiated<br />
by Count Stephan Szechényi who is usually<br />
referred to as one of the greatest Hungarians.<br />
The bridge is „guarded” by two stone lions on<br />
both ends.<br />
From here you can get a great view of<br />
the Pest side.<br />
If you happen to zoom in more on the Parliament<br />
building, you may find yourself peeping<br />
at a Parliament session or you can read the<br />
clock of the St. Stephen’s Basilica.<br />
• TIP: Shoot some pictures with the lions at<br />
the foot of the bridge or from the middle of<br />
the bridge with the beautiful view of the Pest<br />
and the Buda river banks.<br />
