... Amazing view of the iconic Liberty Bridge... one of the most beautiful places of the city with its ornate decorations and pedestrian-friendly location... this bridge is breathtaking at night where it lights up and dominates the sky line... the bridge has a distinct coating of green: its color being totally different to all of the other bridges of Budapest... this makes it impossible to confuse it with any other structure in the city.... for many people living in Budapest, their favorite bridge... people sit on this bridge in between the walkway and the road and play music, are on dates or just hang out which gives it a lovely atmosphere...Thanks a lot Gian Luca and Raffaella!
(✿◠‿◠)The Liberty Bridge is the shortest bridge in the centre of Budapest’s with its 333.6m over the Danube river. Initially it was built as part of the Millennium World Exhibition at the end of the 19thC, in 1896.
On the day of its opening, the final silver rivet was inserted personally by the Emperor Franz Joseph. Not surprisingly, the Emperor gave his name to the bridge: Franz Joseph Bridge. However, World War 2 changed everything. First, the war led to the partial destruction of the bridge, and secondly, following its reconstruction, the new regime governing the country, with no hint of irony, gave the bridge its new name.
