The Chain Bridge is one of Budapest's most famous landmarks. The magnificent suspension bridge on the river Danube between Pest and Buda separates both the cities. The 375 meter (1230ft) long and 16 meter wide bridge, a superb engineering feat, was opened on November 20, 1849. The bridge ignited the economic revival that would lead to Budapest's golden century and it was one of the factors that made the provincial towns of Pest and Buda into fast-growing metropolitans.
