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.

There’s not a lot to do but we went there knowing that. There’s a round 5k flat path with a lot of runners. You can get a bike when you enter and it took us about 30 mins to go round the island...

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.

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.
