Margaret Island is a place full of history, stories and particular spots that make up for a pleasant and relaxing time. It is famous for its ancient trees, well-preserved grass and coordinated flower work, as well as being surrounded by the Danube River.

If you are looking for a relatively quiet and secluded place after a long day in the city, Margaret Island (Margitsziget in Hungarian) is definitely your spot. It’s quite romantic too! It’s common to see lovers enjoying each others\’ company, marking their initials in trees with encircling hearts.

“Did you know that the Musical Fountain and the Water Tower are protected UNESCO World Heritage sites?”

When weather allows it, make sure to make a stop at the famous 1,000 square meters Musical Fountain with its water dances and spraying water in synchronized motion with musical accompaniment. Pumped and equipped with 154 fountain nozzles and 227 lamps and a variety of lights that invite you for a unique musical and visual experience each day between 11am and 9pm.

If you have the chance, make sure to arrive after sunset! At 9pm, this magical fountain splashes with LED light colors that come alive as they are projected on a stunning water curtain. The Fountain is one of the island’s main sightseeing spots that are still open for free to the public to enjoy. With an extensive setlist of various styles of music, it invites tourists and locals alike to enjoy an enchanting experience. Wether you like the musical classics or modern songs, there is a place for everybody!
