My personal favorite bridge, with amazing history and meaningful name :)
Szabadság híd (Liberty Bridge) is one of Budapest’s most iconic Danube crossings. Opened in 1896 for the Millennium Exhibition, it connects Gellért Square on the Buda side with Fővám Square on the Pest side.
Designed by János Feketeházy, the steel bridge features elegant Art Nouveau details and is crowned by four Turul birds, symbols from Hungarian mythology. Though heavily damaged in World War II, it was the first bridge in Budapest to be rebuilt and reopened in 1946.
When the water leve is low, you can still see the old bridge's ruins:
Today, the Liberty Bridge is loved by locals and visitors alike for its green color, historic charm, and stunning views of the Danube.
