Great place for a picnic and a bit of peace and quiet. Can be fairly busy at weekends, but a must visit if you're in Budapest. Try a horse drawn carriage or a family bike, good bar/restaurant /casino towards the south end of the island.
I loved sitting by the fountain and listening to the classical music as the wind blew through my hair. It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep on the park bench. There is also a track that goes all around the island. Budapest must be a safe place to be because there were young women jogging after dark. It had a nice feel to it but there's not a whole lot to do until the evening.

One of the most memorable runs ever!

In 2000, I took a long run in Budapest, including up and down Margaret Island. It is the most tranquil, gorgeous oasis in the middle of that bustling city. A wonderful escape with gorgeous views of both sides of Budapest.

Island

They have a great fountain that spouts to classical music. It's very beautiful and secluded once you get more into the island. The view was great and the old buildings were awesome!

A great place to relax in the middle of a bustling cities area.One of the best parks I have ever strolled in.

The quietness of a hidden gem in the middle of a metropolis. A nature lovers paradise. The swimming facilities are of Olympic grandeur and a stroll along a paved path at the edge of the Danube is a superb event. A Definite Must Do at little expense.

We tried the Spa that was great it was like having a bath in the open air.

Wonderful Park

Margit hid is really wonderful place. If you like sport, there are quite a lot sport facitilies such as swimming pool, running path, cycling path, etc. If you just want to have a walk, you can walk around the island and you can see the beautiful scene along the Duna river. A lot of trees and grass... you can just walk around with your couple and kids and even have picniking there~
