    🌉 Evening Walk Across the Historic Chain Bridge – Budapest

    We took a magical evening stroll across Budapest’s iconic Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd), admiring breathtaking views of the Danube River, Buda Castle, and the illuminated Parliament Building. The city lights reflecting on the water made the moment unforgettable. ✨🏰🏛️

    🔸 Length: 375 meters (1,230 feet) — spanning the Danube and linking Buda and Pest.
    🔸 Width: 16 meters (52 feet) — perfect for a scenic walk!
    🔸 Opened: 1849, making it the first permanent bridge between the two sides.
    🔸 Guardians: Two majestic stone lions at each end—local legend says they have no tongues, though that’s just a myth! 🦁👀
