Liberty bridge (Szabadság híd in hungarian) is one of the bridges between Buda and Pest.
The location of the bridge is near the south side of the city center.
The bridge was built between 1894 and 1896 and it connects the two sides - Gellert hill on the Buda side and the great market hall on Fovam ter on the pest side.
The bridge is 333 meters long
When i was in Budapest , the bridge was under construction and it is pedestrian only at the moment.
In my picture you will see the bridge from Gellert hill - you can see at the top a bronze statue of Turul.

Chain Bridge (Szechenyi lanchíd in hungarian) is maybe the most famous bridge in Budapest and the oldest one (the first permanent bridge).
It connects Adam Clark square and the Buda castle on the Buda side and Roosvelt square with the greesham palace on the Pest side.
The bridge is 202 meters long , and was built between 1840-1849.
The Lions on each side of the bridge are very famous and there is an anecdote about the lions :
Because of the height of the lions , the people can't see their tongues so they thought the sculpture forgot them.
When the people mocked him he jumped into the Danube and died.

Buda castle (Budai Var in Hungarian) is a beautiful castle located on top of the hill.
The castle was was the historical castle of the kings of Hungary.
The castle is very close to the chain bridge and you can get to the castle district in a few ways :
1. A bus
2. The funicular from Adam Clark square
3. by foot
Today there are some museum inside the castle - Hungarian national gallery , Budapest history museum.
The view from here is very beautiful and the entire castle district is lovely.
