Margaret Island
In the past it was called Rabbit Island, today it is known as Margaret Island. The modern name comes from the name of the daughter of the Hungarian king Bela IV, who spent most of her life in the Dominican nunnery on the island. Margaret Island (Margit-sziget) is one of the greatest attractions of Budapest. It was loved already in the times when the Romans lived on the banks of the Danube. As we know it today, it was born in 1950. Its 'fathers' connected three smaller islands together to form a complex 2.5 km long and covering an area of 95.6 ha.
