Available for hire
"An island located in the middle of the Danube where you can explore parks and medieval ruins!
Main sights:
- the Centennial Memorial of 1973, by István Kiss, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the city's unification
- a small Japanese Garden with a thermal fish pond
- a tiny zoo featuring a wide range of exotic waterfowl among other animals
- the "Music Well" (Zenélő kút), a small pavilion, which was originally built for open-air concerts
- the "Music Fountain" (Zenélő szökőkút), a fountain near which music is played and light shows are performed in summer (it is close to Margaret bridge). The water springs out according to music, so that the fountain seems to dance at the various classical themes reproduced.
- an octagonal Water Tower built in Art Nouveau style in 1911, today functioning as a lookout tower and an exhibition hall"

"In the center of the Danube lies Margaret Island, easily reachable via the bridge of the same name. It is one of the busiest city parks, but here there is also a Japanese garden, a zoo and some installations such as fountains and pavilions and also a spa. It is very small so you can visit it on foot for a few hours. I recommend you visit it if you want a relaxing moment from the city.
👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Parlament (1,3 km, 17 min). Tram stop: Margitsziget / Margit híd, lines 4 and 6.
🎟️Ticket cost: free"
