Margaret Island. My favorite place to relax in Budapest

The island is very popular with residents, especially during weekends.
Margaret Island (Hungarian: Margit-sziget) is a 2.5 km (1.4 miles) long island, 500 meters (550 yards) wide, (0.965 km² (225 acres) in area) in the middle of the Danube in central Budapest, Hungary.The island spans the area between the Margaret Bridge (south) and the Árpád Bridge (north).
The island was called Nyulak szigete (English: Island of the Rabbits) in the Middle Ages, and it received its current name after Saint Margaret (1242–1270), the daughter of Béla IV of Hungary who lived in the Dominican convent on the island.
