Margaret Island - Budapest, Hungary - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

Margaret Island (Margitsziget)
The capital's most beautiful and protected park is home to numerous rare and valuable plants that are a delight to the eye. On the Island there are also protected heritage buildings, as well as sports grounds and open-air swimming pools for leisure activities. When the River Danube was regulated, Margaret Island evolved from several smaller islands. Today it is a 95.6 hectare area, 2,500 metres long and, at its widest part, 500 metres wide. Its most famous plants are the vast plane trees which, in some cases measure 2 metres across. The unique maple and ash tree which have grown into one another stands at St Margaret's grave among the ruins of the former Dominican Monastery. Strollers can take a rest in the Japanese garden, in the rose garden, next to tended flower beds, or at the small wildlife park.
Margaret Island boasts several heritage sights like the:
Musical Well, Petting Zoo, Ruins of Franciscan church, Water Tower, Artists' Avenue, etc.
