CHAIN BRIDGE
The very first permanent bridge in the city – today a national monument – with the Buda Castle in the background provides a marvellous view enticing many tourists to take a trip to the city. At the request of Count István Széchenyi, the bridge was designed by William Tierney Clark and constructed by Adam Clark from 1839-1849. This bridge was not able to survive the devastations of the Second World War, but it was rebuilt at the centenary of its opening, in 1949. A short walk to the hill atop the tunnel on the Buda side offers an excellent view of the bridge and the Danube.
