About Margaret Island
Margaret Island is Budapest’s favourite green escape: a long, car-free island in the Danube, with gardens, shady paths, medieval ruins and a running track around its edge. The musical fountain near the southern tip dances to music in summer, and the Palatinus pools are open in the warm months. Rent a bike or a pedal car to explore.
