From Chain Bridge, Petőfi Bridge to Margaret Bridge

Budapest is situated on the Danube river, which at this point leaves the Hungarian middle range and flows into the Hungarian lowland. The highest elevation in Budapest is the 527 meter high János mountain (Hungarian János-hegy), which belongs to the mountains of Buda.

The Danube is the actual main attraction of Budapest and is spanned by nine bridges that shape the cityscape. The most important, because it is the oldest and also the city's landmark, is the Chain Bridge.

Other Buda mountains are the Gellért Hill, the Várhegy Hill, the Rosenberg, the Sashegy, the Martinsberg, the Svábhegy and the Széchenyi Mountain (Széchenyi hegy). Geotectically speaking, the town is situated on a break site, so Buda is particularly rich in thermal springs.
