Oase of silence where you can relax or do some excersise. It is a huge island with many sport yards, relaxing park zones, cute forest zoo and many culture and refreshing spots surrounded by nature.

Good sized park that has a petting zoo , athletic park , restaurants and a bathhouse I believe. You can take the public transport boats to and from either side of the City . Buda or Pest. Nice park .

Your bike , a couple of pillows , a blanket, some snacks , a bottle of wine , good friends, and the relaxing aura of Margaret Island – these are the ingredients of the good life. Read more

Best place to stay away from your problems and noises and everything. Nature water green everything you need. Oh btw I just found out there’s a Japanese garden at the end of the island

Mark Lee

Wooded island in the middle of the Danube with running/walking tracks all around. Connected to both Buda & Pest by bridges at each end. Deer in small enclosure on the Pest side half way along island .

Apart from a couple of hotels and sport facilities , there are no buildings on the island - it is a huge green park with promenades and benches , great for a date or a picnic . Read more

Best 5k course in the world (so far). Flat, rubberized, extremely pleasant 5.3k running track is encircling the island with the view of the Danube, Buda and Pest .

Nick Gray

Super awesome park with many different things to do in a beautiful setting to explore. I went on a recent Sunday afternoon and people were hanging out, walking their dogs, riding bikes , etc

Carl Griffin

Formerly home to the harem during the Ottoman period. Now a beautiful park in which locals unwind and escape the pace of the city .

Amit Gaharwar

Island in the Danube. Reachable via tram 4-6 and then bus #26 that runs over the length of island . Take a bike/vehicle and enjoy the ride. Musical fountain is on at 4,6 and 9 PM. Relax, run and swim .

Shaileshwori Sharma

Whoever chose to make a park in this small island instead of buildings did a big service to everyone who has since lived in/visited Budapest. Not to be missed during fall and spring ;)

Utku Akdemir

Its entrance is in the middle of Margaret Bridge . It's a big green, nature island you can go by bike . Great way to spend day. Fountain , trees , spa , hotel , aquapark, people walking on rope you can see.

Nantia Modsy

I recommend to walk the island instead of renting bike ,that’s how you see and feel most of it. Laying on the grass was like heaven, you don’t need a spa after this. It s like heaven ..

Victoria S ⚅

An island in the city !Is located in the middle of Danube river.You must visit the singing fountain ,the water tower and all the gardens.You can hire a bicycle...it's so funny.????

ecem yelekli

Just lay on the ground , take some food with you and do whatever you want, stretching, jogging, reading books , writing your dairy, playing Frisbee , walking your dog! Also GOOD for romantic days!!

Matt Francis

This place is very picturesque, if it is hot you can go to the Palatinus swimming baths and there are also a couple of good bars here, including one called 'Wonderland' which is very cool!

Artyom Fedosov

Best park in Budapest . PERIOD.

Nantia Modsy

No words. Don t leave without visiting the island . It s relaxing and it feels like you are in heaven. Lay on the grass is a must. Loved it.

We Love Budapest

Run the 5.8km-long rubberized track around the island , see the music fountain , take a picnic , in summer months there's live music . The Japanese Garden was renovated in 2014.

Réka Manon

Every sunday free yoga during the summer! There's a lot open green place here, perfect for rendezvous or picnic too! Btw. do you know why it is called "Margit"? Check the history!

Susanna An

LOVE this place. Beautifully scenic with just the right amount of energy. Don't miss the orchestrated fountain performance . It happens on the hour and isn't very long

Colleen Rehm

Don’t miss the musical fountain , the beautiful gardens and the wonderful biking and running trails . This is a must see in Budapest!!

Anna Trifonidou

Such a beautiful park . You can rent a bike , it has a small zoo and many paths to walk around.

Yesh Yendamuri

Wonderful place to catch some quiet and greenery and catch an unique view of Budapest. Large park and excellent picnic point.

James Croll

Plenty to do and see for nothing! We rented an electric car to drive around for the novelty. Which was relatively cheap . Must see the musical fountain .

Dimitris Ververellis

Loved this place. Very beautiful. Rent a bike to explore the whole island . Ideal for city escape. I was very impressed.

Grumpy Nerd

Large park that's very calm when you get near the center away from the tourists . Bring a blanket or towel and have nap under a tree after all the sightseeing.

Spencer Hatfield

Not only is there a nifty lighted founten show, but there is a water founten for drinking as well . Save those forints where you can turista.

Ele Gagnidze 유

Beth Price

Beautiful! Just so lovely and peaceful to walk around

Margaret Island is between Buda and Pest in the middle of the Danube. In summertime it's great for running, cycling or hanging out with friends. Check out the summer festivals held here!

Maria Zourna

perfect park for a walk, biking , running etc. Rent a tricycle and have fun!!!

Anita Śliwińska

You can take a long walk there, watch multimedia fountain show and just relax. Lack of restaurants of an island is a disadvantage. There are only food trucks and bars .

Tip: if you are going to the island with the green sightseeing boat, you have a 1 hour free voucher from the ones that tour guides give you! ????????????????????????

Sandra Valencia

Soak your toes in the main fountain while you watch a lovely water show :)

Martin Repke

It s a wonderful recreation park no cars except electro cars and bikes allowed. Check out the thermal bath nearby as well !

Gergő Varkoly

Silent, fresher air (than the other places in city ), little zoo , japanese-garden, and good running route!

Sonia Garkusha

Fantastic park . Huge, clean and very comfortable .

Perry MacLeod Jensen

A green spot in Budapest – but all the cultural sculptures and fountains are disappointing. Especially the musical fountain .

Zineta Emini

Rent a bike with friends and have the best time ever. After that, chill by the fountain .
