Walk, swim, or visit the sites at Margaret Island, a popular place for recreation in the heart of the city. In the 13th century this area was called "Island of Rabbits," but it has undergone many changes since then. View ruins of medieval churches and a Dominican convent on the island. Come during a concert at the island's open-air theater, see an outdoor movie, or eat dinner under the stars. Hang out at one of the many restaurant or cafes on the island, go for a run, have a picnic in a landscaped garden, relax at an outdoor pool, or play in the sun at Palatinus water park. Make Margaret Island a part of your Budapest vacation plans using our Budapest driving holiday planner.

Fantastic flat 5K loop, perfect for running in the city. I was there on my own after dark (in January), and felt totally safe as a woman because there were plenty of other runners at all times.

We were there on Jan 1, almost everything was closed. I’m sure it’s beautiful at spring time, but rhis time was too damp and cold.

If you have more than 2 days in Budapest, I would recommend visiting Margaret Island. Amazing place to relax, ride a bike and just to enjoy beautiful Hungarian weather

A wonderful place for locals as well as tourists. It has running tracks, bikes, scooters, jeeps to drive around. There is a beautiful Japanese garden , ruins of a monestery, a few trees which are more than 500 years old, a small zoo which you can enter the area where animals are freely roaming around. The fountain works only in the evenings and not in winter.
