Margaret Island / Budapest / Hungary
Margaret Island, where the thermal water was brought to the surface in 1866, is only 10 minutes driving from downtown. The island wedges gracefully between the Buda and the Pest sides of the Danube river and it is filled with flowers and trees. This surrounding is ideal to relax, refresh and renew the body and spirit. Margitsziget used to be known as “The island of Hares”, and it was a royal game reserve 1000 years ago.
The island was opened to the public in 1869 but until 1900, when the connecting link with Margaret bridge was built, the only access was by boat. Baths were built on the island around the end of the 19th century to exploit the natural waters. In 1945 the island was declared a free public park for all citizens. Since then it has been one of the most popular recreational areas in Budapest. Since no cars are allowed on the island, it is a great place for long walks. A public bus line connects the island with the Pest side of the capital and during the summer months ferry boats are running frequently from Pest to the island. Cars may drive to the parking lot and the garage of the Thermal and Grand Hotels at the Northern tip of the island. Close to the hotels, there is the Open-Air Theatre of the State Opera House with performances during the summer months.
