The Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Széchenyi lánchíd, "Széchenyi Chain Bridge"), which spans the Danube in Budapest, was built between 1839 and 1849 at the instigation of the Hungarian reformer Count István Széchenyi, whose name it bears. It is the oldest and most famous of the nine Budapest road bridges over the Danube.

The Chain Bridge, which spans the Danube, is certainly the most famous bridge in Budapest.

Absolutely magnificent! The lions, the views from it, the views it is in it, the walk on it, Great bridge. The only thing that could be better is if there are no vehicles and it's just pedestrian. But even now it's awesome. And the lights at night make it glow and shine in gold.

A beautiful bridge that takes you right to the cable car to the castle. Big queue at the cable car. It is cheaper to take a bus that will take you all the way to Matthias Church.

The Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge and connects István Széchenyi Square (Széchenyi István tér, formerly Roosevelt tér), which marks the end of the Pest inner city, with Adam Clark Square (Clark Ádám tér) in front of the Buda Castle Hill, today the Buda Castle Hill. The classicist structure, located south of the Hungarian Parliament, is supported by two triumphal arch-like pillars through which the iron chains of the 375-meter-long bridge body run, hence the name "Chain Bridge". The pillar gates have a passage width of 6.50 meters, and the weight of the iron structure is given as 2000 tons.

The most important of the city's 9 bridges, because it is the oldest and also the city's landmark, is the Chain Bridge.

Architecturally very attractive bridge. Great engineering feat and, at the same time, a magnificent view of the Danube.
