The Lanchid Across the Danube in Budapest


The Lanchid, or chain bridge, links Buda and Pest across the Danube. Built by Adam Clark, a Scot, in 1849, this major landmark is closed to vehicular traffic every Saturday in the summer and open to pedestrians. Kiosks for souvenirs and food are set up at each end of the bridge and bands play at both ends while throngs of people walk back and forth.
