I really enjoyed walking through this amazingly beautiful and impressive bridge. I would totally recommend seeing it yourself and walk if possible, because with vehicles you will miss everything. I liked the view of my favourite river, the Danube, could also take a glance at the parliament.

One of the world's most beautiful bridges. They maintain it so well that it looks brand new. Day or night, you'll find the bridge's sidewalks packed with people experiencing this bridge. Easy to cross, just make sure you watch the guardrail as it has some gaps and is not up to current safety standards. Otherwise, this is a must see and experience attraction in Budapest!

Beautiful bridge. One of the best spots for pictures and in the evening, it is wonderful to just stay there and watch the city lights sparkling on water surface.

This is the oldest bridge in Budapest linking the Buda and Pest sides of the river Danube and this is identified as an iconic for the city. This has maintained to the date as a new one even though this was destroyed during the WWII. Today this has become a popular tourist attraction. You will cross this bridge few times as you explore Budapest. This is beautiful even at night as it illuminates with lighting.

A lovely and remebering experience walking through this historic bridge. Don’t miss a walk during the evening with lights around the city and lovely Danube with your loved one. It’s blissful to watch the boats and ferry’s moving around the river in the evening with sunset you will defently enjoy the walk through this bridge. Don’t miss to grab something to drink and please don’t through any plastics in the road or in the river.

Had a wonderful experience of light show and an amazing fireworks on 20 Aug night, though show delayed for an hour due to rain, no complaints as shows was amazing. It was fully crowded near the bridge area, and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the show. Thank you Budapest

Very iconic bridge in Budapest which is near the Fishman and Buda castles. You can easily walk from either sides of the bridge to cross between Buda and Peat sides. The light rails are also on it. The evening view is also nice. Really recommend visiting this place!!

I visited the Széchenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest, the oldest bridge connecting the Buda and Pest sides, built in the 19th century by William Tierney Clark. The bridge offers picturesque views and stands as one of the city's biggest attractions. Both day and night views are stunning, making it a great idea to take a walk across this remarkable piece of architecture. It's a must-visit spot and a wonderful place to spend your evening in Budapest.

It was the first bridge built across Danube in Hungary in 1849. During World War II, it was destroyed by Germans. It as rebuilt and reopened in 1949. Over the years it has become a landmark and a trip to Budapest can't be completed without spending some tome on this iconic bridge. Worth visiting specially in the night !!

Historical bridge connecting the Buda (left) and Pest (right) sides of Budapest.

Impressive to look at, with its suspension bridge style. Pleasant for pedestrians to cross and some brilliant views of both sides of the river, including Buda Castle, the fisherman’s bastion (both Buda side) and the parliament building (Pest side).

This huge landmark is so beautiful, whether in daylight or at night. The derpy looking lion statues on either end welcome you to stroll across this tourist hotspot.
Especially at light it's simply gorgeous lit up against the dark waters.

Impressive historical and architectural sightseeing that connects Castle Hill on the Buda side, and the modern part of the city on the Pest side. Don't recommend it just because I'm sure you can't miss it ;)

Beautiful bridge with great views of the Parliament, the castle and pretty much the whole city's river bank. Great opportunity to cross it when visiting Buda castle district.

The most iconic bridge in Budapest. The bridge looks more beautiful under the light. The view of the bridge and buda Hill from the pest side was simply mesmerizing. Perfect place to sit in the evening and enjoy some amazing views.

In my opinion, this is the most magnificent bridge connecting Buda and Pest. It needs to be seen both day and night. I also wanted to experience the bridge completely by walking over it. A little warning: if you want to see these fascinating lightings, go before 22.00 because the lightings are turned off afterwards.
