The Danube

From the Citadel, the fort that once protected the cities of Buda and Pest, you get this commanding view of the Danube with the Chain Bridge in the foreground.  Just beyond on the opposite shore see the dome of the Parliament Building and beyond that Margitziget (Margaret Island).  Margaret Island is Budapest's Central Park: walking paths, picnic areas, and a very elaborate water park among other attractions.
