Budapest: Margaret Island | Best 14 Things to Do | Hungary Travel Guide

What to do on Budapest's Margaret Island? In this video we show you many interesting and fun things to do that adults and kids will enjoy!

Margaret Island is in the heart of Budapest, but despite this central location it is actually a pretty cool place to find some peace while also being active! In this video we explored the Island and listed what are the Best 14 Things to Do if you visit Margaret Island. Trust us, it's worth a visit!

You can easily spend a whole day on Margaret Island, it is one of the best places of Budapest if you look for a little bit of chill since you are surrounded by nature, have a ton of places to do Picnic, play ball or frisbee. But you also be very active here if you rent a buggy that you need to power with your legs, or go to the Palatinus Beach and take a nice swim (or just sunbathe right next to the pools).

It's a great place for Families, children will love the many playgrounds, the musical fountain or exploring the ruins of old buildings of Margaret Island. But if you come with friends to Budapest, then certainly the many bars of the island will give you the opportunity to grab a few drinks while enjoying the nice weather and have some good talks.

Oh, and did I mention there is also a Mini Zoo here that's the extension of the main Budapest City Zoo? Here there are Animals that required special care and are currently rehabilitating, so make sure to visit them and cheer for them so they get better soon!

Oh I like the tour of this island thank you! And it looks like you can pick up picnic stuff right there

We loved Margaret Island. You are right, the light show of the Music Fountain is really beautiful at night with the illuminating lights. We say down for awhile. We enjoyed exploring the old ruins. I have been to the Palatinus once in the 80s and once again in 2021. We went to a Caramel concert at Margitszigeti. It was amazing. Stay Fluffy! (Eric)

Szia Ákos! I just stumbled upon your channel and your videos are so good. Budapest is much more than just ruin bars and thermal baths

Great video brother I'm heading to Budapest on Saturday

[CaseyCrowley-my]

I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for helping tourists figure out the BEST way to enjoy your beautiful city. Are most attractions on Margaret Island open/operating in mid-March (like the buggy rental places and the fountain)?

[horvathrobertphotography]

Remek, tartalmas videó lett ez is! Gratu! 😊😊

[karldavid]

How crazy does this island get during the summer music festival?

[NiusHun]

Végre egy olyan személy készít minőségi videókat Budapestről, aki ott is él, és nem csak a “kötelező” helyeket tudja bemutatni!
Lehetne valamikor videó a Normafáról is? 🙏

[margsangster]

Enjoying this video thank you. Just wondering if the musical fountain etc is operating at night and all year round please, as I will be there in October and would love to go there at night! Cheers from Australia

More food and drink video's with your best friend and the wife so she can make sure you get home not too late 😂😊

I've been to Budapest many times, and I like Margaret Island, but what I find surprising is that I've hardly met any local Hungarian's. Most of the people I've met over there are other tourists, some Hungarian's have been friendly but most just go about their business, I guess they're just used to so many visitors.

Jo naprot, have you done a video on Bratislava?

[solinchi]

[vikramkaura]
