Positioned on the Buda side of the city, the Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a storied past, having faced destruction and reconstruction on multiple occasions. The present castle, commonly known as the Buda Castle or Royal Palace, has roots dating back to the 18th century. The Széchenyi Chain Bridge stands out as one of Budapest's iconic landmarks, serving as the inaugural permanent bridge over the Danube in Hungary and playing a pivotal role in linking the once-separate cities of Buda and Pest.
