Margaret Island (Budapest)

1-3. The Margaret island is a 2,5km long and 500m wide island in the middle of Danube in central Budapest. Since the 1980s, entry by cars has been limited; only service traffic and a single bus line and taxis are allowed.

4. Margaret island is a beautiful island. It is mostly covered with landscape parks and sports fields.

5. It is a popular recreational area. There are a lot of people jogging or just walking on the island. There is a 5350 meters long, rubber-coated jogging track around the island, marked at 500 meter intervals. There are also many sports fields where people can play tennis, football, swim etc. There were also many restaurants and ice cream stalls.

6-7. It felt like a nice place to do sports or eat. It were completely new to me and very attractive place.
