Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport
BUD
From airport to location
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest is a highly accessible and iconic landmark, connecting the Buda and Pest sides of the city, making it a must-see for visitors. It's free to walk across and can be easily visited solo or as part of any guided city tour, with excellent public transport links nearby. Open year-round, the bridge is particularly stunning at dawn, dusk, and when illuminated at night, offering fantastic photo opportunities of the Danube, Buda Castle, and the Parliament. A typical visit duration to walk across and admire the views is 15-30 minutes. Recent renovations (completed in 2023) have ensured its pedestrian-friendliness, though private vehicle access is generally restricted, enhancing the experience for walkers and cyclists.
