The Margaretenbrücke (Hungarian: Margit híd) is far more than just a connection between Buda and Pest. It is the second oldest bridge in the Hungarian capital and is considered one of the architectural jewels of the Danube due to its unusual shape and elegance. In the middle of the bridge, a side arm branches off, leading directly to Margaret Island. It was built between 1872 and 1876, based on plans by the French engineer Ernest Goüin. This also explains the distinctly French flair of the bridge (similar to the style of Gustave Eiffel).
