The magic island of Budapest
Leave the hustle and bustle of the Hungarian capital behind and ride a Segway through the “green heart of the city”, a leafy island on the Danube right between Buda and Pest. Ride across the largest recreation area of the city and enjoy the calm and the scenery. Here you will find great viewpoints, the Japanese Garden, the Music Fountain, and many animals and birds to watch and feed. Margaret Island has a cheerful, peaceful atmosphere and makes a beautiful background for your photos. During the tour you will learn about the Dominican convent in the middle of the island and find out how the island got the name Margaret. On the way back you will see the impressive building of the Hungarian Parliament. You will also see the Chain Bridge, the first permanent bridge across the Danube, which connected the cities of Buda and Pest. Get to know the city with ease on an eco-friendly Segway ride.

On this trip, you will see St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Music Fountain, Rose Garden and the Palatinus Water Park.
Margaret Island is uninhabited and nowadays serves as a huge recreational area with beautiful landscape where city residents love to relax, have fun and exercise.
