From here, from the height of the hill, magnificent views of the city open up. At the foot of the hill is the famous Gellért Bath, built in Art Nouveau style.
Bridges of Budapest: In addition to the Chain Bridge, you can see other bridges spanning the Danube from the ship: Margaret Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Petőfi Bridge, and Rákóczi Bridge. Each of them has its own architectural feature and history.
Margaret Island (partially visible): A green island on the Danube with parks, fountains, and recreation areas.
