4 things to do close to the Danube
The Danube represents the main avenue of Budapest. You will find all along the river's banks all sorts of prestigious and well-designed buidings, great-looking apartments as well as some of the most beautiful churches of the whole country. Budapest and Danube histories can hardly be separated, and their are great stories still to be written.
The second biggest river of the continent suggests various possibilities to be enjoyed. Consequently, we specifically designed a home-made selection of relaxing-or-not ways to benefit from one of the most precious treasure in central Europe. Let's get into it!
1. A relaxing walk/ride on the banks
We concede it, here is definitely not the most original or even exclusive option ever designed. Never the less it remains the simplest way to spend a relaxing and how precious time in family, or even to find oneself in a connected but quiete environment at the end of the day. We advise you to start your walk near the Gellért hotel and then follow the river going North, passing one bridge after the other. What about admiring Buda's castle, the fisherman's bastion, Matthias church as well as the parliament, which is even more nice looking from Buda side?
NB: In order to avoid tourist jam, we recommend the end of the day or the morning to go for your ride.

2. Enjoy the Buda eye's upview
The famous attraction on Pest side presents a very rare particularity: Proposing the dreamed combination of an heart-taking view including the Danube, in the extra center of the most living place in the city availing a peaceful silence. A ride lasts twenty minutes, more than necessary to enjoy this upview and take as many pictures as you want.

3. Cross the Danube by boat
Is there any better way to enjoy a river than getting at it? There are further options to, but as swimming is forbiden, we recommand you to take the boat.
Why ? Because here and the Balaton lac are more or less
the only places to take the boat in Hungary!
How ? You will find
dedicated boats on the blanks, but
public transportations can also bring you form one side to the other for a symbolic cost. Would it be relevant to miss such an opportunity?
More information are available in the boat tours provider website are you can check the Budapest's public transportations website.

4. Having a relaxing time on Margaret Island
The Danube and the bridges are not the only things between both sides of the city. Margaret Island is one of the most valuable jewelry you can find in the hungarian capital. There you can access a huge
green-dominated place only a few minutes away from the city center using public transportation. Trully considered as the
most beautiful city park in town, the "Lung of Budapest" was back in the middle age the favourite hunting-ground of the kings. You will enjoy such a peaceful environment including sport fields, running spots, an animal reserve, fountains and much more!
